Setup library from NAS from outside network
Hi,
I recently purchased and setup a NAS Synology DS218j with all my music in a shared folder, in my primary residence.
I have a Play 1 in my secondary residence.
I want to create a Music Library for the Play 1 to access the music located in the NAS in my primary residence.
However, whenever I enter the local IP address of the NAS or the name of the NAS, the library cannot be created as I receive error message "the computer refuse to let Sonos connect to it".
1. Do I need to forward specific port in my router in my primary residence?
2. Which IP address should I use for the library setup? Surely the local one won't work when I'm outside of my local network.
3. I have the"outside" IP address of my router but it still doesn't work. How do I point toward my NAS behind that outside IP address?
Thanks in advance.
