TC settings to use BTMM without making it Double NAT

I am trying to configure my network settings on my TC so that I can use BTMM to access the hard drive on my TC remotely. I keep running into double NAT. I know that I have to change the router mode to DHCP and NAT. Then I enable NAT at PMP. I'm not sure what to do next. Where do I plug my IP address in?


I'd appreciate any help or links to any support that's already out here but I've missed.

You cannot change to router mode, because you already have another router.


What you need to do is bridge your existing modem router so the TC can take the role of main router.


But it is well worth considering using a direct AFP connection .. see method 3 here, instead of BTMM which might still have issues. Some modems cannot be bridged and some it is not ISP option.
