LaCie Network Space 2 • DESIGN BY NEIL POULTON User Manual Administering Your LaCie Network Space 2 page 40 4.8. Dashboard: Network This page allows you to modify your Network Space 2's network settings. Note that there are two tabs to the page, standard and advanced. 4.8.1. Standard Settings Configure using DHCP or manually: If your network is DHCP-enabled, as are most consumer networks, the Network Space 2 will automatically be assigned an IP address and other values. As a result, most users will see that the table has been filled in with values. If you select Configure Manually, you will be able to modify the table values. Automatic port forward: If you want your Network Space 2 to be accessible via the internet for remote access, you need certain ports to be open in your router to allow proper communication. Check this box to enable port forwarding, which uses UPnP-IGD/NAT-PMP to automate port forwarding (if your router is compatible). The following ports need to be forwarded to ensure proper communication: 21 (FTP) and 80 (HTTP). IMPORTANT INFO: If you activate automatic port forward, public shares will become accessible (read/write) through FTP. Dynamic IP Resolution: You can use a third party Dynamic DNS service to create an easy-to-remember URL for accessing your Network Space 2 remotely (Fig. 60). This service is free and no subscription is required. For access to a step-by-step screencast click the "i" next to the Remote Access heading to access the screencast (Fig. 61).
