Accessing WD home NAS whilst away from home

I am trying to find out about step by step guides on how to access my WD World Edition II NAS whilst away from home without using Mionet. I am reasonably technical but a novice at networking. I have an O2 broadband router with the drive connected to it. I have looked around for help but it seems to get very complicated very quickly. Do I need to change the settings on my router etc. Any help would be great.
Thanks

@Teejay74 - make update for your firmware with latest one, WD replaced the Mionet for the wd2go.com, a WD tool that makes the share really easy and secure. Now with this tool you can share images from your NAS to your iPad/iPhone/Android , and on this last update you can connect from anywhere to you NAS with wd2go.

    Work with and store the documents on DropBox or something similar. It's free for DropBox. All you need after that is access to the internet and regardless of where you are and what you're using you have access to your documents.

  • Issue with 10.9.2 looking NAS drive away from home network

    I have a NAS drive on my home network. When I am away from my home network my MBP running 10.9.2 keeps looking for and not find ing the drive. It keeps interupting my work flow every few minutes. How do I resolve this issue? it is very annoying.

    As a temporary workaround, of course, you can just turn Time Machine OFF.
    There was a similar message, with reference to type "file" in the URL, but this one is differnent.
    Have you ever used a 3rd-party utility, or followed any instructions to edit some files, to change Time Machine's default behavior?

  • How can i access my PowerMac when i am away from home?

    Hi, I have a powermac G5 at home and have just bought a mac book pro. is there any way to set them up so i can access the powermac when i am out traveling with my mac book? I guess i would need to leave the powermac on all the time, but how do i get the two connected? i have far to many files to use iDisc and i have a lot of extra drives attached to the powermac at home.
    Any chance the answers could be simple!!! I'm relatively new to macs and know almost nothing about accessing computes over the internet.
    thanks for your help.

    Hi Martin,
    I am just implementing something which may be of interest to you.
    I have a home network of a G5 Quad and several PCs which I wanted to be able to access, securely while I was away from home. (Using a XP laptop).
    I have just purchased a LinkSys RVL200 VPN router and ASDL modem and after a fair amount of trial and error managed to get it working to my ISP, British Telecom.
    Effectively I can now connect my laptop from anywhere on the internet and it is as if I am sat on home with it connected to my local network. Most importantly it runs via an https: tunnel (may not be the correct phrase) so it is secure.
    To connect all I have to do is go to my IP address via the browser using https://, logon on and it creates a connection through which I can access my Mac and PCs. Once the connection is in place then I can run any application on my laptop and it connects fine. (Last night I tested it running ftp to my G5 which is hidden behind the firewall.)
    The only thing I am not sure about is how it would connect using a Mac rather than an XP machine (the secure connect icon appears in the tray) but if it fits what you are looking for I'm sure LinkSys could advise on whether it would work.

  • Can no longer access ESPN3 away from home

    After setting up the remote access feature, I used to be able to access espn3 away from home, but can no longer do so.  When I select an event to watch, I see the prompt to select internet service provider and then continue.  I then receive a login error message from AT&T.  I just tried the same thing using my wife's laptop and it works just fine, so there is something not quite right on my computer.  Any ideas of what to look for to fix this? 
    Thanks in advance

    Bump.....still looking for some help if anyone has some ideas.  Even after the upgrade to Lion, still have the same problem. 

  • I want to be able to access my main computer when I'm away from home. Are there honest and trusted 3rd party applications that allow access to the home computer when I'm traveling?

    the job takes me away from home and at times I need information stored on the iMac. I would like to access the main computer and its files through a second computer, Mac Pro. Is there a service that will allow me to access my main computer when I'm traveling? For example if I'm in Brasil and need to access files found in my main computer in Canada, what reliable allows me to connect between the 2 computers?

    Yes,

  • Using iphone with macbook air to access internet away from home

    Can I use the iphone as a dongle to access internet on Macbook air. I find using the iphone fiddly and would prefer the laptop when away from home.

    You can, but you have to pay an additional fee to AT&T. I think it's about $20/month for tethering.

  • Don't know how to access my email away from home

    i don't know how to access my email away from home.
    can't find webmail or email options.

    Somehow I got it to work, a whole lot easier than i thought, kind of scary how easy... but Im not exactly sure what of several things is how I got it. Scariest thing; watching my iBook I wouldn't know that I was accessing it from the MB. It's only me doing it, but still seems so easy.
    If I have a WPA2 password protected wireless network do I have to worry that others can access it so easily? (not that I have anything interesting, it's just the general privacy paranoia)

  • How to set up sync on new laptop away from desktop with only iphone/home access

    I am away from my regular desktop and have a laptop I would like to set up with sync and only have me synced iphone with me and no access to sync key on main computer
    Iphone is logged in and I do not want to erase data stored on sync server by creating new key
    Any help appreciated

    Hi rogues!
    It something that can be done but the iPhone is not going to help you. Firefox Home is a little bit different and it doesn't have that functionality built in.
    You need the Recovery Key (sometimes known as Sync Key) and to follow these instructions: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20sync%20Firefox%20settings%20between%20computers#w_what-if-im-not-near-my-first-computer
    Unfortunately, if you are far away from your computer you will not be able to get the Recovery Key if you don't already have it:

  • Is it possible to remote-access my MacBook Pro away from home?

    Is it possible to remote-access my MacBook Pro away from home?
    What I currently have:
    Late-2011 MacBook Pro 8,2 (OSX Mavericks 10.9.5)
    2.5ghz Intel i7 quad-core
    16gb RAM, 1024gb SSD raid-0 (internal)
    Connecting to the internet through:
    Apple Time Capsule 2TB (via ethernet)
    +
    Time Warner Cable "Ultimate 100" (top speed)
    I would basically like to be able to have my MacBook Pro on *at home* and connected to the internet via ethernet to the Apple Time Capsule.. and then be able to somehow connect and log in to my MacBook Pro, either through another computer or preferably, my iPhone 5s..
    Mostly just interested in having accessibility to be able to make downloads, such as magnet links, while away from the computer.. and basically be able to come home to mostly finished or complete downloads.. Basically like how you can DVR/TiVo things from your iPhone and have it sync with your DVR/TiVo while away from home..
    Is this possible? Thank you!!

    Yes you can do this.
    I would suggest you start with TeamViewer.com (free for personal use).
    You will need to install TeamViewer on your Mac AND your iPhone.
    The Mac version will need to be configured for unattended remote access.  You should practice before you leave the home.
    There are other iPhone apps that can remotely access a Mac.  A lot depends on whether they can get past the home NAT router.  Be careful of apps that provide VNC access, but do not provide a way to get past the home router.  If you try one of these, make sure you test it away from your home WiFi network.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router

    Using the new iPad, what’s the best way to watch video files (away from home) which are stored on a NAS (WD My Book Live)?  Any help would be appreciated!

    Before you go, move the files to I tunes and sync them down.  There is no viable way to stream from your nas drive to the pad.
