Thanks for the reply.
I'm kinda having issues but am relativly new to mac's (Im a network admin for windows) so its probably something stupid i havnt checked.

Here's what i'm doing.

I got an airport extreme last night and added a USB disk to it.
I only have 1 mac (macbook)
I wanted to be able to access files on my USB hard disk connected to the Extreme over the internet.

I got the Extreme last night and the first thing i did was to upgrade to the latest firmware. I then setup the secure wireless network with no problems. After that I attached the USB drive and can read/write to it fine from the internal network.

I then entered my mobileme credentials in the airport to enable me to access the drive over the web.

I've come into work today with my macbook and tried to see the drive in finder. but cant.

Now here I have a proxy setup on the network and our internet is heavily filtered (I work at a School)

I'm thinking that i may not be able to access the drive because of the network here. So i'm going to try it at my parents house tonight and see if that makes a diference.
