    Accessing file server from outside of my home network.

    I have a samba file server that I set up at my house. I am able to access it from my internal network, and it works fine. I have ports 139 and 445 forwarding to my server, and everything has a static ip address. I am using the newest version of lubuntu, and I am also using webmin to manage my server because it's easier than the actual lubuntu UI. I need to be able to access this file server from outside my network; from anywhere over the internet. I do not want it password protected, (It wouldn't be a problem if it has to be) and I want anyone anywhere to be able to access it. I am not very experienced in linux at all. I managed to set up the samba server using webmin and lots and lots of forums, but now I'm stuck.


    Any ideas on how I could get it working, or any alternatives that would achieve the same desired result?



    (Edit: I am at work right now, so I will reply later.)
