4.6. Dashboard: Network

This page allows you to modify your Network Space 2’s network

settings.

Toggle DHCP or Manual conﬁguration: If your network is DHCP-

enabled, as are most consumer networks, the Network Space 2 will

automatically be assigned an IP address and other values. As a

result, most users will see that the table has been ﬁlled in with val-

ues. If you select Conﬁgure Manually, you will be able to modify

the table values.

Automatic port forward (UPNP-IGD / NAT-PMP): Checking this box

will, with most routers, allow your Network Space 2 to communicate

properly with the internet. This will allow optimum transfer speeds

when using the torrent server feature and will allow you to access the

Dashboard and your content remotely through the internet (remote

access via HTTP requires Dynamic DNS setup, such as DynDNS,

see below).

Dyndns: In order to access the Dashboard and File browser remotely

through the internet, you need to set up Dynamic DNS service. La-

Cie advises that you enable port forward (see above). This service is

free and no subscription is required. Follow these steps:

1. Go to http://www.dynDNS.com.

2. Create an account.

3. Input the Network Space 2’s IP address and create a hostname

(ex. smithfamily.dyndns.org).

4. On the Dashboard, open the Network page and enter the host-

name and password you set up.

5. From any internet connection, open a web browser and type the

hostname (Fig. 51). You Network Space 2 login page will open.
