Hi folks, I just picked up a synology NAS, and I'm loving it for internal use, but I want to be able to access the NAS externally-both from my iPhone (3G) and from the net.

I have a Linksys WRT54G-TM router.

My first question is whether I have set up the dyndns correctly.

On my computer that is on my network, if I put in mydomain.dyndns.org, I am taken to a password popup and when I enter my router login and password, my router admin page opens up.

On the same computer, I get the same results if I use my external IP address, and if I use my internal IP 192.168.0.1

So that is all as expected.

However, when I go to my iphone and turn off wifi, and try to connect with 3g to the external IP or the dnydns domain, I just get an error "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding".

What's up?
