    static i.p., no router - how do i feed internet to my NAS

    yups. i don't have it all yet, but to get the incoming stuff working i'll need to first get some more ports open in the VPN's firewall - which might be a bit of a challenge. it won't ever be very reliable, but i AM already way ahead of where i was 2 days ago.

    static i.p., no router - how do i feed internet to my NAS

    i believe you, but when i tried i didn't get the lap to see the NAS, or NAS to see the internet. don't remember which one. only by using whatever DHCP gave me i'm getting it to jive. also - i'm actually bridging a VPN connection and the ethernet port - which i have to do because the wifi in...

    static i.p., no router - how do i feed internet to my NAS

    it's working now, the NAS gets internet - the package center is working. time servers are not. this may be related to DNS settings. i guess i can use some public ones, but would prefer to use my own running on the laptop (127.0.0.1 i'm in china, standard DNS queries get poisoned replies.)...

    static i.p., no router - how do i feed internet to my NAS

    i think the bridge is currently done right. the NAS originally got its (new, static) IP from synology assistant's connection wizard. now i had the NAS do DHCP, and the IP changed to 192.168.137.129 - still not on 192.168.1.xxx. however, this produces something promising - synology package...

    static i.p., no router - how do i feed internet to my NAS

    well, of course i won't be using the NAS via wifi - i'd rather keep the NAS off the net then. as for future hassles, i assume, if doable at all, what i want to do is a one time only -hassle...

    static i.p., no router - how do i feed internet to my NAS

    the laptop IS always on. ok - i've bridged the wifi adapter and ethernet adapter. still no internet on the NAS. should i let the wifi-router's DHCP assign the IP to the bridge instead of using a manual IP? what should i set on the gateway field on the NAS' network settings? the bridge's IP...

    static i.p., no router - how do i feed internet to my NAS

    i guess. but i'm a bit loathe to buy new hardware when i have a feeling that if i just knew what to do i could make it happen without any additional gear. if i am buying gear, i'll get a set of powerline adapters that can take internet to the location of the setup - and then add a router next...

    static i.p., no router - how do i feed internet to my NAS

    i guess i was a bit cryptic. i do have a router a floor down that has the usual setup. laptop connects to it / the internet via wifi. but there's no router where the laptop/NAS are so the only place i can plug in the NAS is the laptop's ethernet port. which works for storage, but i'd like to...

    win7 / 64 laptop. synology 414slim (though i guess it doesn't matter which NAS box). internet coming in via WiFi. NAS connected to the LAN port with static ip, no router. storage works. yes - i know my setup is not the most common one. how do i get the internet from the laptop's wifi to...
