Abstract
A system and method for accessing a storage or computing device via the Internet using a Domain Name System (DNS)-based infrastructure is disclosed. One aspect of the methodology pertains to registering a storage device with a SIP registration server and associating it with an E.164 phone number. In one embodiment, a media device uses an ENUM engine to translate an E.164 number associated with a target storage device into a routable Internet address by using a Domain Name System (DNS)-based infrastructure. The routable Internet address is further used to establish real-time communication between the media device and the target device.
