connecting to Mac behind Airport

[Wackedmac]

How can you connect to a Mac that is behind an Airport, the Mac's IP is 10.0.1.5 and the Airport's IP is 213.224.114.216.

thanks in advance

You mean connecting to a computer behind the airport router from a computer on the internet? You'd have to open the port(s) used for the services you need. I don't actually have an airport base station myself, but I assume it is done with the Airport Admin Utility or whatever it's named

Here's a list of ports used by protocols Mac OS X uses:

Yes you use Airport Admin Utility to configure the base station to pass whatever port traffic you need to a fixed IP on the wireless client. What kind of connection did you want - File Sharing, FTP, Timbuktu,...? See this document for more details:

On a related issue, is there a way of setting up a port, so that you can host games, such as diablo2? I haven't been able to figure out a way of doing this, if it is possible at all. Thanks in advance.
