Hi
I have a box with server 2012 R2 running and several shares that I'd like to be able to access across the network from my phone (I'm using ES file explorer) but am unable to. I believe this is due to the fact that the server box only has a wired connection which is sent through my laptop via a (secondary) router and my laptop is connected to the Internet connected WiFi of the primary router. I make use of the connection sharing feature on my windows 10 laptop to connect the Ethernet port on the laptop to the WiFi network that the laptop is connected to. I believe the secondary router (between my laptop and server box) does have its own WiFi network enabled but there's other resources on the primary network that I'd like to be able to access as well and having to change WiFi networks is a bit of a pain.
Is this something to do with port forwarding (on the laptop? Primary router? Secondary router?) Or something else entirely?
Thanks in advance
