Note: The FSG DynDNS options do not function when using the FSG
behind a router. Please check your router's DynDNS box.
5.1.2 Using CIFS (Samba) over the Internet (behind a router)
CIFS (Samba) allows you to access the FSG over the Internet without any additional
software. You can also map a folder on the FSG, i.e., add it to Windows. Mapped drives
are network drives that can be used like normal folders.
1. Open Services -> File Server (CIFS).
2. Check the box next to 'Open Windows File Sharing (CIFS/SMB) on the WAN port'.
3. Confirm by pressing 'Apply'.
4. Forward TCP ports 139 and 445 from the router to the LAN IP on your FSG. For more
information on how to forward a port on your router to the FSG, please refer to your
router's manual.
5. Your LAN is now configured for CIFS (Samba).
