Situation:
NAS connected to network.
NAS is reachable trough intern and extern networks.
Firewall has it webdavs ports open (5005 / 5006)
Router forwards the ports to the NAS his static IP.
HOW can i connect to this network externally WITHOUT the use of third party programs?
When i go to explorer and right click on network ---> create network and i choose a drive letter and fill in:
\\DomainName@SSL@PortNumber\DavWWWRoot\
It does not work... why?
I tried many other things (straight to IP for example, DDNS, etc etc)
please help!

You said you checked the port forwarding rules, but did you actually test with the Windows computer connected to a network other than your own. It won't work if your on the same network as the VPN server.

Under Advanced settings make sure PSK is checked and enter the PSK from your VPN server screen
Change Data Encryption to Require encryption, click on the "Allow these protocols" and make sure MS-CHAP is checked and hit ok

Like I said before L2TP/IPSEC vpn connections do not work well through NAT'd routers and it could be your home network not properly passing the data through. SSL VPNs are your best bet and easier to configure.
I configured a L2TP/IPSEC on my home system and it didn't work, but it looks like they are blocking L2TP traffic at my present location. My SSL VPN works great through any network because it's using https and that is never blocked and passes through NAT easily.
