NAS behind Router on same subnet. lancepickens@gmail.com 10-13-06

Hi,
I have a NAS device, a buffalo TerraStation to be exact, connected to
a small router on the same subnet. Does anyone have pointers as to how
I can find it on the net. I'm not certain, but I think that this NAS
broadcasts itself as a windows directory//SMB. The NAS is accessible
when I am on the same router but I don't know how to find it when it
is behind the new one.

Thanks for reading,
Lance

If it's sitting behind a router, then it should probably be in a
different subnet. And if you're using windows networking, then
to get things to work across subnets you should have a WINS
server configured, either via DHCP or manually.

I connected the Belkin router to the other spare ethernet port on my
network. The NAS is connected
to that. I can ping the router, of course, but am a little lost on
where to go from here. Will all devices
connected to that router appear as having a singular IP address to the
outside world? Thanks, for the
help, I'm really new at this.

If you're new to the whole subnetting thing, suggest to
read some stuff on it. It would be hard to go through everything
here. There's tons of stuff on the web (search for "subnetting
basics"), and you should be able to find good books as well.
