Sample setting on Listener Client:
Port Forward Definition:
192.168.10.1,137,192.168.1.1,137,UDP
192.168.10.1,138,192.168.1.1,138,UDP
192.168.10.1,139,192.168.1.1,139,TCP
On Listener Client Advanced Settings, enable Bind Non Local Computer IP, select suitable network adapter.
Client common:
Server port = 2222, ip = YourDomain.com or Global Ip.
Where 192.168.10.1 (can be any non local address) is the ip address for File Explorer, and 192.168.1.1 is the ip address of true File Server. You cannot use 127.0.0.1 or local computer address (192.168.1.N) as the ip to connect by File Explorer. It will conflict with local computer file sharing.
If you use domain name as the Agent Server Ip, your laptop can connect to File Server both inside or outside the File Server network.
