Gain remote access to Macs behind AirPort Base Stations
I actually tried to get this working this morning without much success. I enabled Remote Login or whatever it's called and verified this by ssh-ing to myself. That much is set up correctly. I got my WAN IP with...well...MyIP. (As a side note, why wasn't I able to do a traceroute out to yahoo.com or something to figure this out? Traceroutes just came back blank.) So I had to trust MyIP. I was able to ping the IP. So far so good. I set up the port mapping exactly as was mentioned in this hint. However, I'm still unable to connect. I can't telnet over port 22. I can't SSH. That WAN IP just doesn't appear to be accepting any incoming connections of any sort. Any suggestions as to what else I can try?
Thanks, Sway

Make sure that you don't have the "Bridge Airport to Ethernet" option checked. I know that seems counterintuitive, but it worked for me.

One way to get your IP address if it's set dynamically by your ISP is to visit:
http://ipid.shat.net:80/iponly/ B.L.

You won't be able to access you machine (which is behind the Airport firewall) by using your external IP address, from behind your firewall. |
