Alright, at work I decided it'd be nice to have my LAN shared disk setup for WAN access, as the the only person in the office who can configure a managed switch via a serial port and a terminal I have absolute free reign over the office network.

First off, I've dumped all the port forwards for AFP (Port 548), SMB (Port 445) and Bonjour (UDP 5353) to my Airport Extreme, which serves as our DHCP server/wifi access for the office but isn't the router.

Then in the Airport happy pane interface in Disks -> Filesharing , I've checked the enable file sharing, guest access, advertise the disks globally using bonjour. Under advanceed -> Bonjour, I've checked, "Use wide-area hostname". I simply entered my IP for the Hostname and domain name. I've tried entering a name and password and without and tried connecting via AFP and SMB to my WAN IP. So far no dice.

"The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in the "smb:///my ip" could not be read or written. (Error Code -36)

Anyone here can help me? I'm a bonjour newbie. I've done a fair amount of googling and haven't found any answers
