  Hi,

  I have a SMB server running on windows port 445. When I want to connect to this server on the local network, everything works fine. I'm getting into trouble when I want to connect to my SMB server over the internet specially through windows. In router I forwarded a port 4455 to my SMB server ip with internal port 445.

  I have managed to access that smb server through Android with port 4455 over the internet. How to do the same thing through windows with port 4455. 

  I try to connect:

  1. go to My computer

  2. Click Map network drive

  3. Enter xx.xx.xx.xx as ip (ofcourse I enter a real public IP)

  4. Then try to connect

  What I want:

  I want to connect as described above, but I want to specify a port number (4455) so I can connect to a different port rather than 445.
