Gain remote access to Macs behind AirPort Base Stations
Authored by: suranyami on May 21, '03 04:57:50AM

This is good advice, but what I'd really like to know is how to get Apple Remote Desktop working through Port Mapping.

I've got port 3283 mapping from the base station to a server with a static IP (10.0.1.60), which is the port recommended by this Apple technote:

I've confirmed that remote desktop is working locally by trying it from another machine on the 10.0.1.x network, but when I try to access the machine from outside the basestation, I get a failure to connect. Any ideas?

I've had this working for awhile so I might be able to help. Are you entering the ip address of the basestation (with an ARD admin username and password) when you try to add the computer behind the Airport's firewall?

Yes, I am. Why, what should I be adding.

I should also point out that I'm trying to do this on OSX Server (10.2.5). I've managed to get it working before on just plain vanilla OSX, and it worked fine.

As an afterthought last night I tried turning on the OSX Server firewall settings and allowing all ports through. Doesn't seem to have helped.
