How to disable back to my mac with Windows airport utility?

Setup is as follows:
Modem > AEBS (latest version) > Windows 8.1 machine running IPSEC VPN server
..I cannot get the outside world to talk to the VPN server despite forwarding the required ports (500,4500,1701) so I enable debug logging on the AEBS and see a bunch of these.
Mar  7 19:49:26 airport-extreme natpmp: Binding added for udp, 109.155.226.110:32771 to 10.0.1.2:4500 with lifetime 7200
Mar  7 19:49:26 airport-extreme natpmp: Binding added for udp, 109.155.226.110:32769 to 10.0.1.32:4500 with lifetime 7200
In AEBS I'm forwarding 4500 to IP .99
4500 is BTMM right?
So I'm thinking I'll disable BTMM on the AEBS and test again however the Windows airport utility won't let me disable/enable BTMM and I dont have another OSX machine on the network currently to use to check/change the setting.
Any suggestions on how I can disable BTMM from the Windows tool?  Or without a tool at all?
Thanks!!

I strongly recommend whenever a router is seeming to cause issues.. you actually bypass it.. plug the computer directly into the modem and see if the vpn works. You need to get the simple easy to work before you attempt the much harder job of vpn passthrough on a known problematic device.
If the vpn doesn't work still you have the vpn server or local firewall setup wrongly.
If it works ok and the airport continues to give you grief.
My advice is simple.. get another router. Bridge the AE and use it for Wireless. A cheap normal router (particularly if you purchase wisely one that has possible 3rd party firmware) is going to save you years of aging, worry, pain, and all round trouble. Particularly when you try to get things working Apple to Windows with their different upnp vs NATPMP protocols, it is just too hard.
however I'm still seeing those binding messages in the log, as if it's still going somewhere.
Some interaction with Apple is built into every Mac with iCloud ID at least. Turn off all the other clients in the network.. reboot the AE.. but I doubt it will make any difference. It might not be BTMM it might simply be the security protection of the username and password.

  • How to disable back to my mac automatic log in

    When I used screen sharing in OS Lepoard I would have to connect using my user id and password (different from Apple ID).  But now in OS Lion when I use file sharing or screen sharing it connects to the remote computer automatically and uses my Apple ID ([email protected]) to log on.  How do I disable the automatic log on?  I want to be able to screen share but be prompted for my credentials. 

    Bump.
    Anyone?
    In OS Lion my Back to my Mac remote computer connects without login or password. Is there anyway to have it such that you have to supply login and password when connecting or screen sharing?

  • Back to my mac with 3 accounts

    Hi, big help is needed here
    I have family imac with 3 accounts me, my wife my teen
    I have a laptop, so does my wife,
    how can you back to my mac with my computer on the imac
    can my wife also do the same back to the imac as well (note we have each of us an .mac email)
    Thanks

    As I understand it - if you leave the iMac (Home computer) logged in to .Mac as [email protected] - then only someone logged into a remote mac as [email protected] can connect with "Back to my Mac".
    If you want a separate user to login - then the iMac would have to be switched to that .mac id.
    I don't think Apple has this in mind... though it would be very cool.
    The only work around I can think of is to create another .mac id - [email protected] and leave the iMac connected with that id. That will solve one problem - but screw up your syncing...
    Perhaps best just to yield to the temptation and buy more Macs.

  • How do I use Back to My Mac with a new Time Capsule if I don't have a MobileMe account?

    I just got a new time capsule and I'm trying to set it up so that I can remotely access the files when I'm at work/on the go etc. Now I have an iCloud account, but I don't have a MobileMe account. I do have an @me.com address because I enabled Mail thru the iCloud pref pane and I setup the @me.com email address but I'm still not able to use back to my mac.
    I am running the latest fully updated version of lion on the latest model air, working with a 2TB 4th gen time capsule

  • How to setup "Back to My Mac" on iCloud.

    Does anyone know how to setup Back to My Mac on iCloud? I never had MobileMe, and all the instructions I find online are for MobileMe. It seems like a really cool concept, though.
    The computers I have are a Mac Pro and a Macbook Pro. Both running the latest update of Lion.

    I've done that. It goes through as if there are no problems, but I still can't use it. Also, when I try to login using my apple ID, it doesn't work. I've gone to the Airport Utility and tried setting up my apple ID with the mobile me tab, but it asks for my me.com username and password. I never had a password for it, because I setup using cloud. I put in my apple ID password anyway, but there is still no luck. It tells me my username or password is incorrect.

  • 2 iMac + 2 MBP + 2 .me accounts + 1 extreme = How to connect Back to my Mac

    I'm having trouble figuring out how Two .me accounts can access USB hard drives via Back to My Mac.
    Under the apple extreme setup I can apply only one Mobile Me account at a time. (works great! I'm able to access my drives while I'm not at home.) But if the other person living in the house wants to access his drive while not at home how is this accomplished.
    Here's some of the idea's:
    1. Have one of us sign-in under the other user's mobile me account on their MacBook Pro and have it to NOT sync?
    2. Get a family Mobile Me account and set up a third generic "person" and set that up in the extreme software.
    3. Get a second Extreme and set the second one up w/ the other mobile me account (this came from a Mac genius after spending an hour in the store and this was their top network guy.)
    4. Or should I just say "forget it" and get the pogoplug and cancel my mobile me accounts?

    Wow, no one answered your question. It seems to me that Apple has taken the tact of allowing only one user to use Back To My Mac on the Airport ExTreme.
    I suggest the Pogoplug. It is not as optimal as BTMM, IMHO, but it does a very nice job for the cost. I have 1TB on mine, and have enjoyed the use. Even the iPhone app allows access to the files. You cannot get to your Airport disk easily with iPhone

  • How to disable airplay mirroring on iPad with ios7

    How to disable airplay mirroring on iPad with ios7?

    I've had this problem ever since I was at my friend's house- she has Apple TV- and my iPad connected automatically. So, I have no idea why any of the practical solutions that people think of are not options BUT, in terms of just getting it done, I did figure out a way. The key for me was getting near another Apple TV. I was out of town so I took my iPad to another friend's house who also has TV. Once I was logged onto their wireless network (the same network that their Apple TV is on-- that's how it connected in the first place), then the Airplay icon and options showed up from the bottom-draw menu and I was able to make sure that mirroring was turned off from the Apple TV section and to make sure the selection was on iPad instead. Problem solved. Now whether or not this will stay the same (rather than me having to make sure it stays at this setting everytime I link up to a network that has an Apple TV on it) I don't know. So my advice is find someone with Apple TV and connect to their network with your iPad and then change it.

  • HT201250 I've just used an external drive to back up my Mac with Time Machine. I have Lion, but didn't click and check the "Encrypt Backup Disc". What should I do? Can I delete the external drive and start again, or can I encrypt later?

    I've just used an external drive to back up my Mac with Time Machine. I have Lion, but didn't click and check the "Encrypt Backup Disc". What should I do? Can I delete the external drive and start again, or can I encrypt later?

    I guess if stolen or lost it would protect my "stuff", and if I'm travelling would protect my privacy.
    You must understand the purpose and implications of encryption before deciding whether to use it.
    Encryption locks your data with a password. If you forget that password, the data is lost beyond any chance of recovery. Neither Apple nor anyone else will be able to help you recover that data if you don't know the password.
    By the same token, the password must be strong enough to provide the security you want. For example, if you're the potential target of industrial espionage by a government or large corporation, you need the strongest possible password. To create and manage such a password safely is a task in itself, not to be undertaken lightly.
    If you're only concerned about casual snooping by someone with no special skill, a weak, easily-remembered password is appropriate.
    But regardless of the strength of the password, if you lose it, the data is gone forever.
    Another point to remember is that if you encrypt your data on one storage device, you must also encrypt it on all other storage devices that would be accessible to the same attacker. Otherwise the data isn't protected. For example, if you keep your computer and your backup drive in the same room, and the internal drive of the computer is not encrypted, then there's no point in encrypting the backup drive.

  • HT1766 What if an ipad is the only device you have from Apple? How could you back your things up with the cloud ?

    Hi my issue is that I dropped my ipad, and the screen is now blue. I have tried pressing the power button and the center button (I even pit it on the charger), but the screen is still blue. My questions are am i covered to get a replacement, and how do I back-up my stuff with the cloud if the ipad is my only apple device?

    If you didn't have iCloud backup turned on before you broke it, you are out of luck.
    Accidental damage is not covered by warranty.
    You can get an out of warranty replacement from Apple for around $250.

  • How can I make Thunderbird start auto with windows start-up

    how can I make Thunderbird start auto with windows start-up

    You can by placing a short cut in the windows startup folder, just like any other windows program.
    However if you do you are likely to encounter problems as downloading mail while the anti virus is still loading and the network is busy announcing your machines arrival to the network ( which might be a network of one) and any of a dozen other program are loading is fraught with risk of timeouts and server disconnections as well as error messages that make little sense because they are about something that is still loading.
    So the bottom line is sure you can, but if there are issues take it back out of there as a first step.
