Port mapping on Airport Extreme
Please someone help me.
I have a Airport Extreme Base Station.
I connect to the Internet with a Cable Modem (Motorola) with no porting capabilities.
I have published A Filemaker Pro DB with Instant Web Publishing (hosted on my MBPro)
To access the file on the WEB I need a Fixed IP address (done) and I have to use port-forwarding on the AIrport Extreme as the Motorola Modem can’t do this.
So in Internet Settings on the Airport Extreme:
1 The IPV6 Address is blank but the IPv4 of course registers my IP address
2 The Configure IPv6 address is set to Link-Local Only
3 The Router Mode is DHCP and NAT
4 And I have set the Port Settings: IPv4 Port Mapping
So I reckon that I should be able to see the Web Page published and hosted on my MBPro, but I can’t! So there is something wrong.
(Incidentally when I use a Belken Modem (with Port Forwarding capablities on ADSL) and the Airport is on Bridge mode, I can access the web page. )
