How to Enable Port Mapping on my AirPort Express? - Screens Connect

Hi, everyone. I recently purchased a VNC app called Screens 3 and downloaded its desktop assistant, Screens Connect. The process was pretty straightforward and I was easily able to connect my iPhone and iPad to my MacBook Air over my local Wi-Fi. However, I am still unable to connect to my MacBook over LTE or any other Wi-Fi. Here's a look at what the Screens Connect preference panel looks like:
As you can see there aren't a whole lot of options, but Port Mapping is apparently a no-go. I'm guessing this is the resaon I can't connect over anything other than my local Wi-Fi. If anyone here could help me turn that red into a green, I'd be forever grateful. Thanks!

The instructions for enabling port mapping are pretty straightforward, but it never seems to make any difference. If it helps, I am technically living in a college dorm, and have my AirPort Express plugged directy into the wall's ethernet port. I'm assuming, using bridge-mode and all, that I actually have two routers, and the university's router is the one that I need to enable port mapping on. If I'm correct, is there a way to enable port mapping on my side without having to go through my university? Again, this is just conjecture. But the steps are fairly simple, so I'm not sure what else it could be.

    Is there a manual available?
    Thanks!

  • How do you port forward on an airport express?

    So I am trying to port forward because of my minecraft server. I have made the server yet i am trying to port forward. I found my IPv4 and I put it in the DCHP reservations, I also added the MAC adress. Then I went to port settings and in every port I have put 25565, I went to server.properties and checked if that was the port and it was. Then in the Private ip I put the IPv4 in. I have done all steps but My friends arent able to join it. Did I miss a step in the process?

    Let's backtrack to your current network configuration. Is the AirPort Express the only router in your network? That is, is it connected directly to an Internet modem and not to another router upstream of it? Regardless, what is the make & model of that modem?
    Does your ISP provide you with a dynamic or static public IP address? Is that address reachable from the Internet or do they have you connected to their private network?
    Does the Minecraft server have a static or dynamic local IP address? Is it running a software firewall?

    How can I find my Mac Adress for the Ethernet Port from a Apple Airport Express Device ?

    You can only locate, lock or erase your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

  • How to enable document map in SSRS Report Manager

    Hi Team,
    How to enable Document Map in SSRS Report manager 2008 version.
    laxman

    Hi kumarj4009,
    As per my understanding, you created a Document map, it works fine in Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS), but you could not view the report in report manager.
    After we create a report in Visual Studio, we need to publish it to a report server to make it available to users. In Report Designer in Business Intelligence Development Studio, we must specify the report server as well as folders for reports and shared
    data sources so that we can publish the items in a project. For detail information, please refer to the following steps:
    Right-click the report project, and then click Properties.
    In the Property Pages dialog box for the project, select a configuration to edit from the Configuration list.
    In OverwriteDataSources, select True to overwrite the data source on the server each time reports are published, or select False to keep the data source on the server.
    In the TargetDataSourceFolder text box, type the folder on the report server in which to place the published shared data sources.
    In the TargetReportFolder text box, type the folder on the report server in which to place the published reports.
    In the TargetServerURL text box, type the URL of the target report server, then click OK.
    Right-click the report in the project, then click deploy, after the report is successfully deployed, you can preview the report in report manager.
    For more information about Set Deployment Properties, please refer to the document:

  • How do I use the airport express to connect a remote PC via ethernet cable and access the internet via wireless connection, How do I use the airport express to connect a remote PC via ethernet cable and access the internet via wireless connection

    Trying to connect my xbox to the airport express. Have wireless in home and do not have a ethernet point behind tv/xbox. How do I configure the airport express to connect to my wireless network and then the airport express can use its connection via ethernet to connect the xbox to the internet.

    Is your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) a 802.11n model? If it is, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge or ProxySTA. This would allow the AX to join another wireless network and have its Ethernet port enabled for wired clients, like the Xbox 360.
    To activate ProxySTA, you must set up the Express to join a wireless network and then enable the Allow Ethernet Clients setting; both settings are located in the Wireless tab of AirPort Utility.

  • Can I use the Airport Express to connect to a Linksys Wireless Network and then use the Ethernet port on the Airport for a wired connection to a device for internet access?  Would I be able to then also use that Ethernet pt to a Ntwk Hub for more wired c

    Thanks for the help.  Looked but not clear on what I am trying to do as being possible.  Can I use an Airport Express to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless Router, such that I can then use the Ethernet ports on the Airport to either connected to a PC wired, or even use a hub off the Airport Express to allow multiple wired connections to it? 
    I am not looking to have the Airport Express extend my wireless network, just connect to it and provide me wired connections in a different location from where my Linksys Route is located.  Would prefer to replace Linksys with all Apple, but just not possible financially yet.  Thanks for the help.

    If the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is an 802.11n model, then yes, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, the AX would join the wireless network provided by the Linksys router and its Ethernet port would be enabled for either a single wired device or for an Ethernet hub or switch for multiple devices.

  • How to set up Guest Network, while Airport Extreme is connected to Satellite Receiver

    How to set up Guest Network, while Airport Extreme is connected to Satellite Receiver?

    Depending on how you have your AirPort Extreme configured to work with the satellite receiver, it may or may not be possible to enable the Guest Network function.
    We will need to check some settings on your Mac or PC, but in order to do that, we need to know what operating system you are using on your computer.
    If you have a Mac, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the computer screen, then click About This Mac. Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.

  • How do I set up iPad with airport express to stream music to stereo without internet connection?

    how do i set up iPad and airport express to stream music to stereo without using internet connection.

    Your 4th gen iPad does have the necessary software to connect to the AirPort Express but not to administer it. To do the later, you would need to install the AirPort Utility applet.
    You said that your iPad can "see" the AirPort's wireless network, but can't connect. What happens exactly when you attempt to do so? Do any of your other wireless devices have any trouble connecting to the Express? Did you configure the Express for a closed network ... that is, not to broadcast its Network Name?

  • How do I use a Mac Mini + Airport Express + Time Machine disk to backup another iMac

    How do I use a Mac Mini + Airport Express + Time Machine disk to backup another iMac?
    The question pretty much says it all.
    I have a Mac Mini with an attached 3TB Hard Drive used for Time Machine Backups.
    I have an Airport Extreme base station which services that machine plus several others.
    I would like to backup my new iMac and a MacBook Pro to the Mac Mini.
    What do I need to do on the mini to export that hard drive so that it can be used as a Time Machine target from the other systems?
    All systems are running 10.6.8.

    Well you would have to do backups over a network which is much slower and has highest chance of becoming corrupt. I think your best option would be to get an apple time capsule to act as a network and back if thats how you wanna do that

  • How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities?

    How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities? Seems like there isn't an option to set this up.  Normally you could add/set up this in the airport setup assistant- but that doesn't exsist any longer.
    Thanks for any suggestions 

    How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities?
    Unfortunately you can't, since Apple dropped support of the older AirPorts with AirPort Utility 6.x.
    Using some workarounds....not supported by Apple.....you might be able to download and install an older version of AirPort Utility that would allow you to administer the older AirPort.

  • Can I use Airport Express to connect to a printer, Time Machine Back up drive, second b/u drive, and scanner through a USB hub? if so, how?

    I have an Airport Express that connects to my printer. I'd like to add a scanner, and two back up drives (one for use with Time Capsule, another specifically for photographs backed up from Adobe Lightroom.
    The printer connects to the Airport Express through a USB hub and is recognized.  I cannot get the scanner nor either of the back up drives to be recognized.  Is there a way to do it or will I need to rely on a USB hub wired to the USB port of the MacBookPro?  If it is possible, can you walk me through the set up for each? 
    Thanks,
    Doug Earle

    I'd like to add a scanner, and two back up drives (one for use with Time Capsule, another specifically for photographs backed up from Adobe Lightroom.
    Unfortunately, the USB port on the AirPort Express will only work with a compatible printer.
    It will not work with a scanner, copier, or hard drive.
    It should be possible to do what you want by connecting a powered USB hub to your Mac and then connecting the devices to the powered hub.
    The setup for the scanner and hard drive would be covered by the manfacturers documentation, so providing specific advice for those types of products would be outside the realm of this support area.
    But, if you can provide model numbers, it is always possible that another user who is using those products might see this post.

    How can I make my first generation AirPort Express work with Mountain Lion? I have a 13" MacBook Pro (non-retina).

    Hi guys, recently had the same issue. You require an older version of Airport Utility to configure the older Airport Express. It can be found here.

  • 5.2 update does not send audio from video played via Apple TV to AirPlay-enabled speakers and devices or AirPort Express.

    I just updated my Apple TV to release 5.2, which is supposed to give Apple TV the ability to "Send stereo audio from movies, TV shows, and other videos on Apple TV to AirPlay-enabled speakers and devices (including AirPort Express and other Apple TVs)." Problem is, this does not seem to be the case.
    I have two AirPlay enabled devices:
    1) Bose SoundLink Air
    2) AirPort Express
    In the Apple TV menu, I selected Settings, AirPlay, Bose SoundLink Air. I then played a video; the audio from the video played from my projector's speakers - not from the Bose speaker. I then went back to Apple TV's Settings/AirPlay and selected "Airport Express" (which connected via an aux cable to a speaker)...audio continued to play over my projector's speaker. I can, by the way, play audio on both the Bose and the speaker connected to the Airport Express if I select either of them from the AirPlay menu. 
    Am I doing something wrong, or is the 5.2 update not working as described?

    No. But, are your speakers only connected to the AE or are they also connected to an amplifier?
    You would need to use a Toslink cable to go from the Apple TV to the speakers/amp.
    I don't use this or know a lot about it, but it is wildly popular, inexpensive and may be of help:
