I'm going to read that link now... but.....
How does this affect Pings?

Shouldn't I be able to Ping the address I want to connect to prior to trying to ftp to it?

Re: [Connection Sharing] Connect camera (on 10 IP) to NAS (on 19

Read the links provided. You need to setup port forwarding on the 192 router so FTP requests are sent to the NAS IP. Use the WAN IP (10.x.x.x) of the 192 router as the FTP address for the camera to connect to.

If the router supports it, instead of port forwarding, you can add a second 10.x.x.x address to the WAN port on the 192 router and do a 1:1 NAT between the second WAN IP and the NAS IP.

Either way, once configured correctly, will allow FTP connections between the 10 network and the NAS device on the 192 network.

Before posting this thread... I had done following:
On 10 IP router, put in a 21 port forward to the 10 IP (Wan of the 192 Router)...
And on the 192 router, had put in a port 21 forward to the IP of NAS.

This was done before first posting... and it prompted fail to connect.

I've read the link, and I can't say I 100% understand it. Did it did have me look at the NAS documentation.... NAS Docs Doesn't say it's Active or Passive FTP, just mentions port 21 once, no mention of port 20 or 1023.... or Active.... Or Passive FTP....

So.......

Do I need to do a Port 20 or 1023 FWD on 192 Router point back to the 10 WAN or the 192 Router?

and same on 10 Router pointing back at Camera?

What address are you using when you attempt to FTP from the camera to the NAS?

I have the complete 192 address and name of the NAS:

\\192.x.x.156\nasname\

and when I test it, it reports:

Error: Ftp connecting failed

Now if I use that same \\192.x.x.156\nasname\ at any computer on 192, it connects to the NAS.

That's why I tried pings.. From 10 router's ping utility, Once I turned off Block Wan in 192 router, I can ping the 10 IP WAN of the 192 router, but not the 192 router's base address.... or the NAS on 192......

I did just find a Passive enable switch on Camera that is enabled...

You have to use the external IP (a 10.0.0.0/8 address) of your internal router here—not the IP of your FTP server.

NAS, router, or camera?
In the configuration of the camera?

So instead of:
\\192.x.x.156\nasname

You want:
10.x.x.x/8

Or in the 10 router, instead of camera?
From 10.x.x.x Where X is the WAN IP of 192 router
to 10.x.x.x/8 ???

Camera. Instead of \\192.x.x.156\nasname you’re going to want \\external_IP_of_internal_router\nasname.

Let me clear up a couple other things..

In the 192 router I'm forwarding port 20 & 21 to Wan IP of 192 router... 10.x.x.x
Should this remain or change to the 'base address' of the 10 router?

In the 10 router, I'm port forwarding port 20 & 21 to the IP of the Camera....

I have not set port 1023 to do anything, anywhere...

In the camera, it's pointing to \\10.x.x.x\nasname (The WAN IP of the 192 router) and the camera is set for passive ftp...

Anything need to be changed?

In the 192 router, forward the FTP ports to the IP address of the NAS unit.

In the camera, enter ONLY the WAN IP of the 192 router as the FTP destination.

Thanks for the information... Still getting FTP CONNECT FAILS on test from camera to NAS through the routers...

In each of the routers, 10 and 192, I have a diagnostic page, where I can do a Ping and a traceroute to IP's....

On the 192 router I have Disabled "Block WAN Request".

On the 192 IP I can traceroute and ping the IP's on the 10 IP area:
Base IP of 10 router
10 IP of (WAN) of 192 router
The Camera on 10 Router.
As well as the 192 Router devices, NAS, and computers, printers...
From this I deduce that I can see 'upsteam' and '192 IP'

However... On the 10 IP Router diagnostic, I CAN Ping BUT CANNOT Traceroute The WAN IP, (That should be unblocking WAN Request), But I CANNOT PING OR TRACEROUTE ANY Device on the 192 router: NAS, WAN IP, Base Address of 192 router, other computers, printer, etc...
From this I deduce I cannot see 'downsteam'

I'm not good with IP Stuff (That's why I posted here), but again I feel it's something in the 192 router......

Have you confirmed that the FTP service is running on the NAS Box? Can you initiate a FTP session from a PC connected to the 192 router? Download Filezilla if you need a FTP client for the PC.

I never thought to try....
No, Filezilla can't connect to it.... I tried both Passive and Active.

Setup the FTP service on the NAS box. Use Filezilla to confirm it is working. You will need the IP address (in 192.x.x.x format), user name (usually admin) and password to test the connection from Filezilla. Once that is working, the rest should be easy.
