Hello
I have been trying to open all the necessary ports in my Mac/Airport/Router, and just can't get it work.
I am connecting a single computer wirelessly via an Airport Express and a router. to be honest, i am not very good at this and i am not even sure i fully understand what i am doing.
1) to start with, is it correct that i need to open the ports i need in all of them, airport+router+computer?
2) the main problem i think is with the IP addresses. I am not sure what IP addresses i should use. on some helpsite i read that in order to set this up i need to create a static IP address (at the moment i am using the default DHCP option). Is this true? I tied to do it, but then i cannot connect to the internet anymore??
and should i use the same IP addresses for computer/airport/router? the addresses at the moment seem to be very different, eg some are like 86.129.xx.xxx and some are like 10.0.1.1? Do I need to create a set of manual IP addresses?
Please please help me!!
thanks very much
