Hi Thortey,
If you are having issues with a "Double NAT" notification, you may want to take a look at the following article; while it speaks to Double NAT specifically in the context of Back to My Mac, the information and resolution steps for a Double NAT configuration should be universal:

Double NAT means you have 2 routers on your LAN. One is connected to the internet through your modem, or your modem is also a router, and then you have the time capsule which is also a router. One is connected to the other from LAN port on router one to WAN/Internet port of router 2.
You can still use 2 routers but you must disable, turn off, the DHCP server on the second router and connect from LAN port on router one to LAN port on router 2. Not using the WAN/Internet port on the second router in the chain.
That turns the second router into a switch with no DHCP server.
How do I correct a Double NAT status?
