How do I access my Airdisk from the Internet?

Hello,
I have been scouring the web for the answer to this, and have found very little, why doesn't Apple help out more with this. They say it is possible, just not how to do it.
My AE is bridged to my ISPs Netgear router which supports dyndns. I've created an account with dyndns.com and when entering the details into my router, it successfully automatically updates it. This is probably the first hurdle in getting web access to my disk that other people may not have? But what do I do next?
I can access my Airdisk within my home network and have told my AE to share and advertise via Bonjour, but are the Bonjour wide-area hostname settings the same settings as my dyndns account? I've read that the hostname is a single name that I've selected on dyndns.com and the domain is dnsalias.net, then Name and Password is the same as my dyndns account?
Thanks very much for your help!

Thanks for letting me know the port, but what I didn't know how to do was actually connect to it. Out of the blue, I tried map network drive at work on a pc to my AEBS at home and wala it worked! I just wish they would post this somewhere! The manual for the AEBS would be a logical place, and yes I have it configured in bridge mode. Is there not a way to connect to AirDisk from Internet Explorer?
Some more things I discovered ON MY OWN since there seems to be ABSOLUTELY no guidance on this ANYWHERE, if somebody knows where, then please do tell:
1. port 548 (thanks duane) needs to be opened for Apple formatted AirDisks using Apple Filing Protocol on the mac (from Finder, Go, Connect to Server, afp://home network ip or dns name/disk name) or map network drive on the pc:
(2 back slashes, leaning back)home network ip or dns name\disk name
2. port 445 needs to be opened for Windows formatted AirDisks using Server Message Block on the mac (from Finder, Go, Connect to Server, smb://home network ip or dns name/disk name) or map network drive on the pc:
(2 back slashes, leaning back)home network ip or dns name\disk name (haven't tried this yet, but will shortly)
3. for guest access (usually read only), you may use guest and nothing for the password to connect to your AirDisk
4. for user access (usually to write), you may use anything for the username and the disk password you set for the AirDisk to connect
MAJOR PROBLEM!! >>
I was so psyched to have access to my AirDisk and tried several small files to test it out, no problem. However, when I try to upload .avi files of about 700MB size, I get an error stating that the device is no longer connected either at home or outside of home most of the time completely freezing the AEBS! Is there any size or file type of restrictions with AirDisk?? This is crazy, I get this far and I'm stuck by what appears to be a substandard device!?! I'm using PCs at both places, but it shouldn't matter since the AEBS fully support PCs! Could I possibly be doing something wrong?
<< MAJOR PROBLEM!!
There could be a problem with my AEBS as I wrote in another post, channel 1 of it's wifi appears to be completely inoperable.

  • Best way to access Time Capsule from the Internet?

    I wanted to see if anyone knew of a program or setting I can use in order to access Time Capsule from the internet? I know that probably I will not be able to at this point access it directly, even though it is connected to the internet through my modem, but I do have a Mac at home that is connected to Time Capsule. Isn't their a way that I could connect to the Mac, but not through Back to My Mac, that would show Time Capsule as connected to it, so that way I could access the files? Any ideas would be appreciated.

    It is possible to mount the TC as a network hard drive when outside your regular network.
    1) You will need to reconfigure your router to forward the ports used for AFP (by default 548) to the Time Capsule.
    2) Then when outside the network make sure Finder is active, press Apple+K to bring up the 'Connect To Server' dialog.
    3) Input the WAN IP address of the network to which the TC resides on.
    4) You will be asked for the password used to access TC.
    5) The TC should appear as a mounted drive.
    It is then possible to access files on the TC as well as do a TM backup. To make life easier you can drag the mounted TC into your dock for easier access in the future.
    However, it is obviously recommended to use a strong password to protect the TC (configurable using Airport Utility in the 'Disks/File Sharing' tab). You may also need to use a service like DynDNS if your network does not use a static IP address.
    But I am using my home networks' Time Capsule successfully from the office.

    Sounds like the wifi isn't processing the data fast enough for video streaming.  Have you tried resetting your wifi hub ?  Switch it off for a couple of minutes and then restart it.  See if that makes any difference.

  • How to print a specific page from the internet

    I have tried to print a specific page, and get about seven pages that are linked to it, without
    seeing the specific page I wanted printed out. The page settings under printer only lists header and footer
    info, and no choices to print only this page or frame. There is no way to print  one specific page on this printer?
    I always was able to do this  with the Epson printer I just replaced, but unable to with this printer.
    Please help! There must be a way to do this when printing from the internet. Thanks for any help.

    Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
    I don't have any idea what you are trying to print, nor do I wish to know.  Smiling.
    The key may be to control this in Print Preview like you would with most things when you are printing from a Browser.
    Manage Print Output with Print Preview
    ========================================================================
    Depending on which browser you are using, you might also be able to make use of Smart Print:

  • How do i save a photo from the internet to my photo library?

    I want to save some copyright-free photos and clip art to my photo library. How do I do that?

    Most times you can simply drag the photo onto the desktop and it creates a file which you can then move elsewhere.
    Some websites don't allow their photo's to be used.
    However OS X has a neat trick, simply hold
    command shift 4
    and a cross hairs appears which you then can take a snapshot of anything on the screen just about, even upload it here with the camera icon.
    there is also command shift 3 which takes the whole screen.
    there are a bunch of others, like to take a picture of the current window etc.
    Finally Quicktime allows video recording of the whole screen, for recording segments you may need something like SnapZPro X still.

  • How do I copy a photo from the internet to iPhoto library?

    I am a new Mac user. Love it so far! I am trying to drag and drop a photo from the internet into my iPhoto library. I guess I am doing it wrong. Suggestions?
    Thanks so much

    Maybe try right clicking on the pic and then Save As on the desktop and be sure the file type is jpeg or tif or some photo type. Then drop it onto the iPhoto icon in the Dock (assuming you have it there).

  • How to print selected (highlighted) info from the internet

    For some reason, this mac has a hard *$$ time just printing what I want it to. I select something on the internet using command "A". Then I click command "P". The screen that gives printing specifications doesn't have a simple tab that says "print selection". How can I get this darn thing to simply print what I have selected?

    Hi,
    OS X isn't very printer friendly.
    Print Selection Service 1.0 (freeware on VersionTracker) will add a "Print Selection" choice to the Services menu in the Safari menu.

  • How do I save images downloaded from the Internet?

    I have the URL to an image stored on the Internet. Is it possible to open a connection and store the image on my computer? I'm not totally new to this, I've written a small program that could read text files from an ftp server, but it's my first try at downloadning images. Here's the code I'm using
    String wwwfile = ....;
                   System.out.println(protocol+host+wwwfile);
                        URL url = new URL(protocol+host+wwwfile);
                        URLConnection urlc = url.openConnection();
                        InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(urlc.getInputStream());
                        File file = new File(path,fileName);
                        OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(file));
                        int c;
                        while((c = reader.read())!=-1)
                        writer.write(c);
                        reader.close();
                        writer.flush();
                        writer.close();
    When I read text files, I used BufferedReader/PrintWriter instead of InputStreamReader/OutputStreamReader. The picture I want to download seems to be downloaded, it's stored on the computer, but upon viewing the picture, the browser displays the icon telling me the picture is abscent.
    What is it that I'm doing wrong?
    regards
    simon

    Ah, this might be the problem. You're using an InputStreamReader and OutputStreamWriter to wrap the streams with reader/writers. This is bad. This will corrupt binary data.
    Try this:
            System.out.println(protocol + host + wwwfile);
            URL url = new URL(protocol + host + wwwfile);
            URLConnection urlc = url.openConnection();
            // Use InputStream/OutputStreams instead of Reader/Writers for binary data.
            // Otherwise it will get corrupted.
            InputStream in = urlc.getInputStream();
            File file = new File(path, fileName);
            OutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(file));
            int c;
            while ((c = in.read()) != -1) {
                out.write(c);
            in.close();
            // You don't have to flush the file if you're
            // closing it right after.
            out.close();
