I have a shared disk attached to my Airport Extreme, which I can connect to remotely in OS X through the finder via command - k, and entering in the proper address:
afp://test.dyndns.org:1111
1111 being the port I've reserved for the disk in the AE port mapping.
This is such a great feature, but I don't always have access to a Mac.
My question is how can I connect to this drive via Windows XP?
Please note, that the shared drive is a Drobo FS and formatted to handle both Windows and Mac OS.
I've tried mapping a network drive via My Computer -> Tools -> Map Network Drive and entering:
\\test.dyndns.org:1111\Drobo-Name
I've also tried Start -> Run and entering the same, both with and without the port #.
