How to set up port forwarding on extreme with NAS

I've purchased a NAS (Synology DS211j with 2 caviar HD) over a month ago. Setting up the NAS for wireless connection locally was easy. I've been trying for 3 weeks on how to set-up port forwarding on my airport extreme base. I''ve researched and read countless threads on port forwarding and still cannot grasp the concept and the step by step provided. I need somebody that's patient enough to hand hold and guide me through this frustrating problem.
Equipment:
Comcast cable modem connected into Airport Extreme Base
Synology DS211j connected to Airport Extreme Base
Problem:
Cannot connect to my DiskStation via internet from wherever
confused whether to use FTP or Personal file sharing or whatever is the most suitable for my needs
Just need to access files on my DiskStation view/upload/download from wherever I'm at, whether on PC or Macbook Pro
Thanks in advance!

Here are the basic steps to configure your NAS for port mapping:
AEBSn - Port Mapping Setup
To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the host device.
AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > DHCP tab
On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
Reserve address by: MAC Address
Click Continue.
MAC Address: <enter the MAC (what Apple calls Ethernet ID if you are using wired or AirPort ID if wireless) hardware address of the host computer>
IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
Click Done.
2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup >Advanced > Port Mapping tab
Click the "+" (Add) button
Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
Public UDP Port(s): <enter the appropriate UDP port values>
Public TCP Port(s): <enter the appropriate TCP port values>
Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the host server>
Private UDP Port(s): <enter the same as Public UDP Ports or your choice>
Private TCP Port(s): <enter the same as Public TCP Ports or your choice>
Click "Continue"

How do you set up port forwarding on an IPad 3 4g connection?

Please let me know how to set up port forwarding on the iPad to point an outside port to one of the devices connected to my iPad hotspot. Thanks.

I'm not sure if the 5.4.1 version that you have will do what you want. Did you mean to say that you had installed the 5.6.1 version?
Sorry, I do not have a PC here handy to test, so you will need to wait for another PC user who can give you step by step instructions.
This article should get you going on Port Forwarding basics:
AirPort - Port Mapping Basics using AirPort Utility v5.x

I have the new Air Port Extreeme model A1521 and I need to set up port forwarding for HTTP. HTTP is not on the list in the set up. Does anyone know if any of those choices work for HTTP?

I am on a Windows 7 Ultimate PC and right now there is no Airport utility for setting up the new Apple Extreme so you have to do it on your iPad or iPhone. Does anyone know how to set up port forwarding for HTTP to get to DVR security cameras? There is nothing in the list that indicates HTTP port forwarding.

Thanks for your reply Tesserax as I did figure this out on my own. It took a bit because all of the options are not clear what they are for like the previous Airport Extreme and Apple does not support or guarantee that port forwarding will work for you application nor did any of the Apple support persons I spoke too have any knowledge for this feature. You also have to fill in the public if you are viewing through someone else's Wi-Fi or on your cell phone carrier network. This new Airport Extreme is a bit different since you cannot use the Airport utility on a PC like the older model and if anyone else is reading this they should be aware that if you do not have an Apple computer, iPhone or iPad and I'm not sure if some of the other network enabled devices like iPod Touch that you must use that can do it, there is no Airport utility for the PC and you would be wasting your money or have to take it back and get another brand wireless router to use if you do not own any of the above mentioned Apple products.

How do you set up Port Forwarding for ARD 2.2 in AEB N?

Help,
I'm a novice at Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) - not an IT guy, so it has to be pretty basic and detailed.
How do you set up Port Forwarding for ARD 2.2 on the Apple Airport Extreme BS router, 802.11 N. I have one at each end of the internet connection. At one end I have an Airport Extreme N router with 2 macs and eventually 1 windows XP machine (if I can) that I would like to be able to connect to over the interenet (the clients) and at the other end, I have a Mac with ARD 2.2 installed also with an Airport Extreme N router. Note: Both routers use Static IP addresses and all computers use static IP's internally not through DHCP. What are the settings or directions to do this.
I have read and printed out the directions for Configuration of ARD 3.0 that are posted many times in the ARD discusion group, but it uses a Linksys router ( http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm posted by Dave Sawyer). The Mac router is different, particularly with the place to set a Private IP address. I'm not sure about alot of things, but especially about the Private IP address, what number do I set it to, the one that is in my Network connections list? It automatically changes to a different number in AE N setup for Port Forwarding (by one) as if it is not suppose to the same?????
Are there any directions available that are as straight forward for the Airport Extreme N router, as the one's that are listed here for the Linksys Router's? ( http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm )
Any and All help will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I know I should have 3.0 but bought 2.2 just weeks before 3.0 came out and they would not give me an upgrade price, so I'm waiting for 4.0 to upgrade.
Thanks,
Jim

Mmm, generally you don't need to do much port mapping in an extreme. Not sure I understand you. What does the d-link do?

How do I setup "port forwarding" on a Time Capsule on Mountain Lion?

I am trying to set up a Foscam FI8910W so that I can access it remotely. I have some tutorials about how to do it, but most seem to involve using an old OS and I'm getting hung up at the step that involves setting up port forwarding. I have never done this before and I'm flummoxed.

VNC without access to set up port forwarding

I just bought the VNC Viewer app for my iPhone 4 and got it to work over 3G and wifi with my macbook pro connected to my home network. I know very little about networking but I knew enough to be able to set up port forwarding to my ip on my router at home. The problem is that I am a student in college right now, so my computer will be hooked up to the schools network when winter break is over. I have no access to set anything up on the network at school, so how will I get this to work? I made a host name at no-ip (does that allow me to connect to my computer even when my ip changes?), and I read something about being able to set up an ssh tunnel to make it work...maybe? I now have no idea what to do and the other forums I've read about this topic are using language that I am not familiar with. I need some network education! Again, the problem is setting up my MacBook Pro to allow a VNC connection on a network I have no control over. Thanks!

My suggestion is using TeamViewer.com (they have both a Mac and an iPhone app) and it is free for personal use.
Team viewer has the ability to work across routers and corporate firewalls.
The problem with ssh is that it also needs port forwarding the same as VNC. You could have your Mac at college ssh to a Mac at home, setting up a reverse tunnel (ssh -R). You then VNC to the Mac at home, and instead of attaching to a VNC server at home, you connect to the ssh tunnel listening for connections. You would have to always have the tunnel established from your college Mac to a home Mac (or it could be a Linux box at home). And at home you would also need to port forward port 22 so your college Mac and ssh into your home Mac.
It might be an interesting exercise, but I think you would be happier using TeamViewer.com

Set up Port Forwarding?

Is it possible to set up port forwarding directly on an iMac?
This is for video streaming from a house camera, over the net.
I have a simple cable modem, and no router or gateway.
I would rather avoid buying a router, or airport exteme, if I could.
Thanks.

You can't avoid buying a router. Every home or business network should be behind a NAT router of some type.

How to set color space to JPEG image with Java advance Imaging

How to set color space to JPEG image with Java advance Imaging.
is there any API in JAI which support to set color space.

I'm definately no guru, but this is how you can change it.
CTRL + ALT + Click on the part of the component that you want to change. This brings up the Hidden Dom Inspector, background of component will be surrounded with a red outline (Make sure the red outline is surrounding the part of the tabset you want to change), Now you go to properties sheet and click the ellipses next to rules property this will pop up a dialog you look in this list (At the top) to see the default style classes that are affecting the rendering of the component outlined in red. (You will be able to select different sections of a single component) then you just rewrite the style class that you want to change in your Stylesheet (You will not find the styleclass that you want to change because it is a part of your theme .jar but as long as you name it exactly the same and place in your stylesheet it will override the theme .jar style classes) it's actually very easy -- you were right should be a piece of cake for a guru. Don't have the link handy but you can check out Winston's Blog on changing Table Formatting to get this information...It is EXTREMELY useful if you want your apps to have a custom look and not default that comes with Creator Themes.
Hope this helps you out God knows others have helped me alot!

Witch Roles and Features do I need, RD Session Host, RD Connection Broker, RD Licensing?
/SaiTech

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Based on your description provided, I can understand that you want to setup RDS server 2012 R2 and want information how to achieve that. If misunderstood then please correct.
If yes, then there is different option related to setup. There are 2 option for configuring.
1. Role based or Feature based installation
2. Remote Desktop services installation
For normal RDS environment, you can use 2nd option and then perform Quick start Deployment where 3 roles can be installed RD Connection Broker, RD Session Host and RD Web access. After this you can also publish RemoteApp and can use.
You can refer following article for more information.
a) Remote Desktop Services (RDS) Quick Start Deployment for RemoteApp, Windows

+You may have already done this, but do you have the first AirPort Express configured to "Allow this network to be extended"?+
Could not find that setting anywhere.
It's in AirPort Utility, AirPort panel, Wireless tab.
When I'm within the range of the base station I connect normally, but further away the connection drops despite the fact that the other Airport is very close and light is green. Interestingly, my PB Pro has signal almost everywhere in the house, but my iPhone and Mac Mini don't. Most likely just a hardware difference?
In AirPort Utility with the second Express, in the AirPort panel, Wireless tab, have you checked "Allow wireless clients"?
The second AP does show an IP address: 10.0.1.3.
With a "Configure IPv4" setting of "Using DHCP", that suggests that the second Express really is connecting to the first Express. In that case I have no other explanation of your your problem.

How do I do port forwarding on my airport extreme for my IP camera (foscam)?

Hi,
I've been working on this for what seems like a week. I purchased a wireless security camera to put in my house and to see from my laptop (or IPAD2) when I'm away. I am able to see it from either device when I'm here at home, but not when I'm out on the road.
According to the instructions for a mac setup, I needed to set up a DDNS service and get a free account at DynDNS, which I did. They also told me to use a different port than 80, suggesting 8081 as the http port which I plugged in to the camera device setting.. The next step is to do PORT FORWARDING and then I should be able to use my DDNS domain name and port number to login to my camera anywhere...
I'm stuck in how to do this with my airport extreme. I see where I have to go into utilities and click on airport utility, and then manual set-up..
Right now when I click on the Internet tab at the top I see the connection sharing is off (Bridge Mode), and that I have to change it to share a public IP address to get DHCP and NAT to appear in the tabs..
when I go to NAT, the box for enable NAT port mapping protocol is checked and then there is a tab I can click on that says Configure Port Mapping.
I know that I'm supposed to click the plus button + to enter a service and a port and here's where I get stuck
when I click the + button I can either click on the choose a service tab, which then drops down a list of services like Personal File Sharing, Window Sharing, Personal Web Sharing, Remote Login SSH , etc, or just keep it where it says choose a service and not choose one of the services.
Then there are some boxes to fill in for Public UDP Port(s), Public TCP Port(s), PRIVATE IP address-where the only numbers I can change are the last ones and I don't know if I'm supposed to put the IP address of the camera or what? and then the boxes for Public UDP and PUBLIC TCP.
I tried a few times to fill out the port numbers to 8081 (the one I selected for the IP camera) but I don't know what to do for the private IP address. When I changed the last numbers to the IP address of my camera, and went to update, it told me that I had to correct the 2 problems before updating:
DHCP beginning address, and dhcp ending address...as the DHCP range you have entered conflicts with the WAN IP address of your Airport wireless device. So I cancel and am stuck.
Sorry this is so long.. but I really can't get anyone to help me figure this out.. The camera company isn't answering ..
Thanks!!
Barry

Thanks for the info. I checked the model number on the Westell site to get info on the device. From Westell's info.....
1. Product Description
This ADSL modem is a NAT router with a four port 10/100BaseT Ethernet switch, a USB port and 802.11g wireless interface.
So, while you might refer to it as a "modem" ( a modem will only have one Ethernet port), you have a router or gateway. A gateway is simply a modem and router in the same box.
With the AirPort Extreme, you have 2 routers on the network. Basic networking rules dictate that when there are 2 routers, the first....your Westell.....must handlde DHCP and NAT, and the second router....in this case the AirPort Extreme....must be configured to operate in Bridge Mode so that it will function correctly on the network. That's why the AirPort Extreme is in Bridge Mode. That is the correct setting on your network.
That's also why you were getting the error messages when you tried to configure the Extreme as a second router.
As I mentioned before, any port mapping or port forwarding is going to have to be set up on the "main" router....your Westell. It cannot be set up on the AirPort Extreme.
