Accessing Buffalo Terastation NAS over a Virtual Private Network

Was working on a Buffalo Terastation Pro II at an office to which several machines have a mapped drive. The users who connect to the office location over a Virtual Private Network found the mapped drive was not available when logged in from home. Nor was a shortcut pointing at the machine name of the Terastation accessible eg. \\MyTerastation

The solution for those connecting via the VPN turned out to be to create a new shortcut pointing at the Terastation's IP Address instead eg. \\192.169.10.54

You can find your Terastation IP Address either using the LCD panel on the front of the Terastation or via it's web control panel by looking on the Home tab.
