Seagate abandon remote access to their 'Central' NAS

I've had 3 updates to its firmware in the last 2 years.

It was a long time ago though, I think I'd have binned it by now! Brian

Put them on Emails addressed to yourself.

Depending upon your ISP, a static address may be possible and can be cheap.

I used to use Dyn-DNS when I was with SKY, but on moving to Plusnet, a static IP address cost only £5 to set up and with no monthly fees afterwards. It simplifies some things a little. It is worth checking what your ISP can provide.

IDNET provide one for free.

Since te defualt is 'router always on' with most people it seems strange that the likes of Plusnet charge. It costs them nothing.

Maybe charges will be dropped as we move to IPv6. At the moment there is a shortage of IPv4 addresses and it may be that ISPs don't want everyone to move to static addresses, as it would restrict their ability to change allocations and re-organise as and when they need to without causing disruption.

The Linux versión of the Seagate Central NAS is MontaVista Linux, is an embedded linux.
