remote and local access to shared drives

Featured Replies

I currently have a client with 2 unraid servers. one located at home and 1 at work.

They want to be able to access the shared drives on each one, whether they are in the offices or out on the road.

Currently I have Zerotier setup on both machines. and yes I can access the shared drives remotely.

mapped through explorer. z y x etc.

But when they go back home, of course the system jumps onto their local network and cant resolve the IP. As it would have an external ip through zerotier of 10.240.10.240. but on local network, it is 192.168.1.10

and then of course the mapped drives don't work as they refer to an external IP on zerotier.

 

If we map it to the internal network and shared drives. then they dont work outside on zerotier.

 

Then also if you have a dns entry for the unraid box called tower.local, it only seems to resolve on internal, not the external.

 

That would be the simplest. if the DNS name resolved to either IP and the netbios name did the same.

mapping shared drives with the netbios name is the ideal solution. which resolves to either internal or external.

 

Can any one shed soe light on this for me. Currently my poor client is pulling their hair out whenever they lose their mappings
