Q: Airport Connection Issues

I have an Airport Extreme connected to a Comcast Modem. I have extended my system with an Airport Express and Airport Time Capsule. I am using a DHCP/Nat configuration of 192.168.1.## for the system and each of the add-on units is set to EXTEND the current system. When I use DHCP to obtain the IP address, the units default to a 172.addressing scheme. In order to obtain a correct 192 address, I need to manually insert the ip address, subtask and DNS servers. Why is creating the incorrect IPv4 addressing scheme to show up?

Well I think I have finally found out what is going on. We have Comcast security also, which has its own router. I tapped into this unit and uncovered that it was using a 192 address distributed by my Apple Extreme and it had was hosting a private network on the same range that was hidden. When I defaulted the unit, of course knocking out the security system, the private range defaults to the 10.0.xx range. So setting the system up with the 172.16 settled things. Thanks for all of your assistance in this matter

    I have another issue that you might be able to help with. I m running a BIMServer on my machine at home through port 1228.I am sharing the WIBU dongle for Archicad and VRay. I cannot seem to access the port though I have the machine IP and port listed in the NAT table on the Airport Extreme. Is there another toggle I am missing? I cannot seem to access any port shared by a machine on the system.
