How do I set a "fixed local address" and enable port forwarding?

We are using an iMac G5 with an Airport Express (bought back with the G5 so it's a bit old) and I'm trying to set up the computer so that I can use it with Bosco's Screen Share.
According to the instructions (see step 3) I need to "set your computer’s fixed address on your LAN." so that the Airport will forward a specific port. How do I go about doing this? In my network prefs the Airport is set to use DHCP. Is there something in the Airport Admin that I need to set?
I'm unsure how to go about doing this, any help is greatly appreciated.
Chris

So I should create another location (in the Network prefs) specifically for screen sharing?
If you are going to switch back and forth between the settings then go ahead but there is no need to do it.
Would I set the port forwarding in the Airport Admin under port mapping?
Yes

  • Setting up Time Capsule as primary wireless router and enabling port forwarding

    I am attempting to setup my Time Capsule as the primary router on my wireless network. I have an Actiontec Verizon FIOS router that I am connecting the TC to using ethernet, and I was then going to turn off the wireless function on the Verizon router so that the TC will be the only wireless router. I am not exactly sure how to go about this, and I also have to connect a wireless device to the TC that requires a static IP address and port forwarding enabled so that I can access from my iPhone. I am completely lost on how to do this, any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Unless Verizon has made a major change in the last few days, you will not be able to use the TC as the primary router......simply because it is not possible to configure the Verizon router to act as a simple modem......which is what it must do if you want to have the TC act as the primary router on your network.
    As LaPastenague has explained. turning off the wireless on the Verizon modem/router will not make it a modem.  It will still be a wired modem/router in charge of the network, not allowing the Time Capsule to take over the role of main router for the network.
    But, let's assume that I am wrong. Please check with Verizon support and ask them........
    1) If it is somehow now possible to configure their modem/router to act as a simple bridge mode modem. If they say that this is not possible (or they will not support this).....
    2) Ask them if they can provide you with a simple, bridge mode modem......instead of the modem/router that you have now. A simple modem will have only one Ethernet port, and it will not offer any type of routing or wireless service at all.)

    how could I set a fixed size window for all resulution?

    Using layers for page layout is just asking for trouble.
    Trouble with
    centering content, and trouble with expanding text.
    Use tables until you can manage a proper CSS layout scheme,
    i.e., NOT
    layers. Start here -

  • I have bought an additional iPad (mini) for my wife, but how do i set up her email address only without mine appearing on her iPad?

    I have bought an additional iPad (mini) for my wife, but how do i set up her email address on her iPad only without my email accounts also appearing on her iPad?

    It sounds like restored one of your own backup when you activated her iPad. If you just activated the device and you want to share an Apple ID for purchases, you should, either erase the device and start all over again and NOT restore your backup - or simply delete your email accounts and set up hers in the settings.
    To erase the device and start all over again, go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. If you enabled Find My iPad, you will need to enter your Apple ID and password to erase the device.
    You can delete your email accounts, in Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Account Name>Delete Account.

    You need to get the settings for your email from your email provider and enter them in Internet Accounts (System Preferences). Many of the common systems are already available, all you need is a password and an email address to set them up.

    Hi, how do i set up my iMac, iPad and iPhones so that when i delete an e-mail (or other action) from one it automatically syncs and duplicates the action on the other devices?

    You need an IMAP-type email service rather than a POP-type mail service. IMAP automatically does what you want. Contact your email provider to see if they offer IMAP.

  • 8330 Call Forwarding​...How do I set the number of rings before calls are forwarded?

    8330 Call Forwarding...How do I set the number of rings before calls are forwarded? Right now it instantly forwards my calls but I don't want that. I want to change it so that let's say that if after 5 rings I don't answer the call is forwarded. I've looked everywhere for an answer but have had no luck. Any help would be appreciated. I am with Virgin Mobile if this makes a difference.

    Well, call forwarding is a feature provided by your carrier -- it is not a function of the device. However it works for your carrier is how it works. Actually, from what I understand about call forwarding, it normally is an all-or-nothing circumstance...calls forward to the number you've asked them to be forwarded to, keeping you in a DND status. Regardless, though, if your carrier tells you how it works on their system, there's nothing that the device can do to override that. Unless there is some kind of 3rd party app that would do it, bypassing (somehow) the carrier network CF feature...but I've never heard of such a thing.

    You can neither merge or delete them. Pick one and stop using the other. If they both have purchases associated with them you will have to keep using both.
