Virgin router (Shub3) wont let me use port 139
Posted: Mon Apr 17, 2017 11:59 amI wonder if I could ask for some advice please ?
I've managed to set up SAMBA servers on my iPad for my 2 NAS drives when I'm connected to the same (local) network and that works fine. My problem is when I go away somewhere and want to access the same 2 NAS drives remotely. For some reason my Virgin Superhub 3 router won't let me portforward to port 139, which seems to be the default port for a SAMBA server in the app and I don't appear to be able to select another port instead - has anyone else encountered this problem and how have you overcome it please ? I've looked through the settings options and can't seem to find anywhere to change the port so any help would be appreciated
Cheers
Mike
