Help Portfoward

Is the AE in bridge or router mode.. if it is in router mode is it having double NAT issues??

There is no way to port forward with double NAT.

i use my local ip address and use the right ports, but no one else can connect to my game.

From outside the network you must use your public not local IP.

The easiest thing to do is for you to post the actual screenshots of your port forwards..

And also do a proof that the TC is not double NAT.. ie open a teminal (or dos windows) and type traceroute (tracert) 8.8.8.8

That will then show how many local NAT you pass through. Here is mine.. only one NAT router.

traceroute 8.8.8.8

traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets

Did you follow precisely the rules here??

AirPort - Port Mapping Basics using AirPort Utility v6.x

Are there two private IP ranges.. since you have not given me the traceroute or screenshots I cannot really help you.

Minecraft normally needs a router that is fully upnp capable.. the Apple router do not use upnp. And it can never open ports.

Put it in bridge mode and see if the main router upnp will allow minecraft to work.

Just give me the summary to start with. That will show errors.

If you have a modem router in front of the TC.. plug your minecraft computer into that.

It will never work..

This is not the picture I wanted but that is ok.. I can see the Airport is working as a router.

You must do all the connections from the router in front of the airport.. and the computer running the games must plug into that router.. NOT the Airport.. it can never work on the airport due to double NAT.

What broadband are you using.. cable, adsl, fibre etc. ??

What modem do you have.. the airport is not a modem so you must have it plugged into something else?

Make and model?

Does it have 4 LAN ports and perhaps wireless as well?

Please plug a computer directly into this modem router by ethernet and tell me what IP you show..

in windows you do this by opening a command window.. look it up if you still don't know.

Type ipconfig /all and copy and paste the results here.

The game computer should plug into this router.. by ethernet.. or wirelessly connect to this router.. NOT the airport.

You gave me pictures of the hardware.. but that doesn't help me.

In my previous post I asked a series of questions.. I need you to answer them please..

What broadband are you using.. cable, adsl, fibre etc. ??

There is a line running into your house.. is it a phone line or is it cable internet so a big thick coax or is it fibre?

You must tell me this to help you.

So far your pictures show me hardware at the end of the line.. I need to see the hardware that links to the outside world.

What modem do you have.. the airport is not a modem so you must have it plugged into something else?

Make and model?

Does it have 4 LAN ports and perhaps wireless as well?

This is the crucial one..

The TC does not sit in a vacuum.. it is plugged into something else.. what??

On the TC what is plugged into the WAN port.. with the round sunburst symbol.

Please plug a computer directly into this modem router by ethernet and tell me what IP you show..

Unplug the ethernet from the WAN port of the TC and plug that cable straight into the computer.

Tell me what happens.. what IP you get.. does your game work now??
