Port forwarding/adding IPcamera via Airport Extreme Can't possibly be this complex, can it?

Any other new router has WPS (that youcan disable to rpevent hackers) and lets you connect to IP cameras. Not AE. I use apple because I am not a programmer. Am I missing something, or is Apple? Suggestions appreciated.

I do appreciate your response, but it kinda goes back to my original post-- I am not programmer or geek (NO offense intended, we all need geeks and they're generaly very nice folks)-- I use apple because it works-- now I need to do work arounds and install old software through a third party vendor.....
I think I'm just gonna get a new, non-airport, router. Their speeds are faster and connectivy is simpler.
I hated typing that. I love Apple, but this is just isn't what I signed up for.
Again, Thanks.

Airport Express G getting Port Forwarding to work from Airport Extreme N

I have an Airport Extreme N connected to a cable modem. I have an Airport Express G in another room, connected to a Local Ethernet Network. The AE G is setup as a WDS Remote to the AE N. Connectivity works and all is well.
What doesn't work is when I try to forward ports from the AE N to a device/system connected (via ethernet) to the AE G. The kicker is the port forwards work from "inside" the network. Outside they don't. I have been able to forward ports to anything connected to the N directly or wirelessly.
Any thoughts on what the proper configuration of the AE G or the AE N to get port forwarding to work from the AE N through to the clients of the AE G?
I have DHCP, and the clients of the AE G are getting IP addresses and working as they should.

I checked that. I can forward ports all day long to anything connected directly (or wirelessly) to the AE N. Anything connected to the AE G, ports won't forward. For some reason the AE G in bridge mode is not letting ports forward through.
Thanks for responding, though.

Port forwarding in 6th gen airport extreme

How do you set the port forwarding in the 6th gen airport extreme?

I am assuming that the AirPort Extreme is set up to function as your main router handing all network services....but, since it is dangerous to assume anything.....so, the first requirement to check is to make sure that your AirPort Extreme is configured as the main router on your network.
On your Mac, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Extreme, then click Edit in the small box that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
The setting for Network Mode must equal DHCP and NAT. Is that what you see? Do not make any changes at this point.

Dynamic DNS Port Forwarding Set up on Airport Extreme

I just bought the new AEBS and am unable to afp into my computer from outside the network. I use a dynamic DNS service (www.dyndns.org) and have not had trouble in the past, but now it tells me that the server does not exist. What is the trick? I have tried many options in the forum, but with no luck. I am using firmware 7.2.1 (that is what came with the base station). My Internet service is through Verizon and I know that it does not provide port problems since it worked with my Netgear router, I don't have file sharing on for mounted disks (there are none attached) and entered my DYN DNS information in the Bonjour tab. I know this should not be so complicated, but nothing seems to work. For some reason, the base station is using port 548 (i have been told) and tried using another port). Someone please help.

First of all you must install a DDNS Client on the machine you want to access. I don't know if DynDNS has one.
No-ip.com as one. Just create a free account, install and configure the client software. It will transmit the Wan IP of you network to the no-ip servers, then you'll be able to connect IF the port for afp is routed to the correct machine in the AEBS. Here is a link the the ports used by Apple products:

Custom icon on a disk shared via Airport Extreme

I have a USB hard drive that I am sharing via an airport extreme. In the finder, under "Shared" I see my airport extreme. When I click on that, I see my external drive. I would like to change the icon for that, but the standard Get Info -> paste doesn't seem to work.
I've tried to set a custom icon on a test folder on my hard drive and it works. I also tried it on a test folder on the USB drive shared via airport extreme, and that worked. But I can't set the icon for the drive itself. Any suggestions?

No, they pulled it, even though Steve promised the wireless backup feature in his latest keynote. One hour into it to be exact.
http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/d7625zs/event/
Now, I am very much against releasing a product before its ready, so I respect them for that. However Steve VERY clearly states that it was already working and would release with Leopard. He usually makes a very very clear distinction between things they "can/might" do and things that are working. He even goes into detail about how all the house macs can wirelessly use the same backup through the Airport Express. THEY EVEN HAVE A PICTURE of it!
So they need more time, okay. But I feel lied to. The least they could do is make a press release with an ETA! The hush hush, makes it seem like they are going to scrap it and pretend it never happened.

How can I print from ipad2 via airport extreme to hp printer on USB.

Is there a way to get iPad2 to print via airport extreme to a non wireless hp printer?

Apple - iPad - Print right from your iPad with AirPrint.
Unfortunately, AirPrint will only work with AirPrint enabled HP printers.
Check the HP site. They may have an app available you can use for your USB / Airport printer.

Can't connect to iDisk via AirPort Extreme

I can't connect to iDisk if I have an Extreme in my network path.
Connection that will work:
Motorola cable modem -> Netgear Hub -> iMac -> iDisk
or
Motorola cable modem -> iMac -> iDisk
Connection that doesn't work:
Motorla Cable modem -> Airport Extreme -> Netgar Hub -> Mac -> iDisk
or
Motorla Cable modem -> Airport Extreme -> iMac
or
Motorla Cable modem -> Airport Extreme -> Dell D610
Oddly enough this will work:
Motorla Cable modem -> Airport Extreme ->Dell D610 -> VPN to Work network connection -> iDisk
This problem holds through with or without WEP Security.
Software: iMac 10.4.7 and Extreme V5.7 and it is setup as a WDS base station I need to extend my network to an Express.
Any thoughts? I have not found any problem like this on these pages. (As best as I could see anyway.)
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Looking over your original post again, I think I might have misunderstood you the first time. If I understand you correctly, your Vista laptop can see the wireless network and connect to it (so you have access to the Internet), but you cannot see the Airport Extreme Base Station when using Airport Utility.
If your Internet connectivity is not an issue and it's just that you can't see the base station in Airport Utility to configure it, try using an ethernet cable to connect your Vista laptop to one of the LAN ports and see if the base station shows up in Airport Utility then.

Connect to Linksys Cable Gateway via AirPort Extreme Base Station?

Thank you in advance for any replies.
I have the following new setup:
A G3 Blue tower running OS X 10.4.10 is successfully connected to the internet via a Linksys WCG200 Cable Gateway connected to RCN's cable internet service. The WCG200 unit has wireless capacity though it's connected to the G3 tower via ethernet cable.
A second Mac (G3 iMac DV running OS X 10.4.10) is in another room in the office. I'd like to set it up with internet by wirelessly connecting with the existing WCG200 unit using an Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) I've recently acquired. To ensure a smooth process, I reset the AEBS to factory settings and installed the AEBS software (version 4.2) onto the iMac DV. Finally I plugged in the AEBS into the iMac DV using an ethernet cable plugged into the AEBS's WAN port (AirPort Admin Utility advised me to do so).
That's the hardware configuration. Working out the software and configuration details is proving 'niggly'.
First, I used the AirPort Setup Assistant to configure the AEBS. I told it to Set up a new Base Station, then to set it up as connecting to the internet using a Cable modem (the top option of two—the second was to set it up with internet through a LAN). I set up the name and passwords for the Base Station and had the utility configure the AEBS accordingly.
No internet connection occurred. I tried using the Internet Connect utility in the Applications folder, but no button or visible option for connecting via AirPort appeared, as the Setup Guide indicated it should, only a button for a VPN appeared.
I called Apple and asked whether it was even possible to connect to the internet using the AEBS talking wirelessly to the WCG200 unit. A tech told me it could be done by going into the AirPort Administration Utility, going into Configuration, clicking on the WDS tab and inputting the MAC address for the WCG200 unit, then going into the Airport tab and typing in the channel that the WCG200 is using. Note that the WCG200 unit has 3 MAC addresses listed; one each for “modem MAC address,” “WAN-MAN MAC address,” and “WAN-DATA MAC address”. I used the “modem MAC address.
The Apple tech added that it might need further tweaking, but that Apple couldn’t provide this tweaking and that I might check various forums if need be.
I followed the Tech’s advice, at which point the utility informed me that it couldn't use DHCP or NAT with this setup’ and to make sure that the "Distribute IP Addresses" checkbox was deselected under the Internet tab. This I did, but it was already deselected. I told the utility to update the AEBS accordingly, and restarted everything, including the 2 Macs and the WCG200.
Result:
No connection.
Tried it again with the Ethernet plugged into the AEBSs LAN port, still no connection.
Help! Can’t I get the AEBS to even see the WCG200? I know wireless is properly functioning in the WCG200 because another user with a Windows laptop connects to it wirelessly. The Mac Tech also mentioned that this could be relatively easy with an AirPort Express piece of hardware (Card? Base station?) but that it would be difficult with the Airport Extreme Base Station.
At this point we’re willing to spend $100 on getting this up. What would be our best option in terms of equipment, or can connectivity be accomplished with what we have?
Thanks again,
skyheart

skyheart, Welcome to the discussion area!
In theory using WDS would provide what you need.
In reality the Linksys device is not compatible with Apple's WDS and therefore this will not work.

Cannot print from IMac or Dell Latitude Laptop on Canon MX330 printer via Airport Extreme.

Trying to connect a Canon MX330 printer to an IMac and Dell Latitude laptop via Airport extreme and having no luck.
All devices recognize the printer, but when I try to print from the IMac it says that the printer is offline, even though it is not. The printer status on the IMac says offline until I clear the printer queue and then the status goes online.
When I try to print from the Dell laptop the printer reacts, but nothing prints.
I have run through all of the troubleshooting in the support section online. Any advice?

Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at thisiFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

Win XP does not print via Canon MP970 via Airport Extreme

OK, I bought a Canon MP970 printer and hooked it up to the airport extreme, changed all of the ports to 10.0.1.1 on my XP, shared the printer, ran Bonjour, ran airport utility, and everything I know how to do. I can print from my Powerbook G4 and from a new black macbook that I just bought on my network. Problem is I cannot print from my windows XP PC. Very frustrating. It did work fine with my HP printer; that is print from my laptops AND my PC desktop via airport extreme. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

OK, I kept working at it and seemed to have fixed the problem. I finally just redirected the port to a local one "9101"and not the 10.0.1.1 and began working. I am not sure what I did definitively to make it work. And I just installed the latest printer drivers into my PB G4 and new blackbook and worked. I really just need to trash the PC and go with Apple but you know.......wife.....$$$$$, etc....

File transfer speed in Shared USB Hard Drive via Airport Extreme

I' am planing to buy one of this, but first I need to know what kind of file transfer speed I can expect when sharing USB drive via Airport Extreme 1000Mbps Ethernet.
Thanks.
Message was edited by: Robert81

most likely 14m/sec but normally 10.5 this is ethernet wired and usb attached. wireless would be about 8M/sec
Wired is good enough I use it for Finder copy frequently.

Finder freezes when attempting to access a "shared" external hard drive (wireless via Airport Extreme)

Finder freezes. As soon as I click onto my "shared" external hard drive (3TB WD - wireless via Airport Extreme), finder immediately freezes / eternally spinning beach ball (until I restart finder). Can still access wirelessly on another Mac (not on Yosemite).
Please help!

Ok - for a while there, the hard drive would not come up on the desktop - but now on a re-boot of the compter, or if I disconnect the hard drive and re-connect it, a message comes up with three buttons which say:
Initialize
Ignore
Eject
Sound like the hard drive has died?

Using Carbon Copy Cloner which is quicker firewire 800 Macbook Pro to external hard drive or Macbook Pro to same via Airport Extreme?

Using Carbon Copy Cloner which is quicker firewire 800 Macbook Pro to external hard drive or Macbook Pro to same via Airport Extreme?

Firewire 800 is the fastest and most reliable. Also it's bootable if you hold the option key down on a wired or built in keyboard. Not bootable via Airport obviously or if Filevault is used.
It's only your first clone that's usually takes the longest, it's shorter when it updates as you only do the changes which you can control to keep a pure clone if you wish.

Syncing iCal, Address Book and Safari Bookmarks via AirPort Extreme?

Does anyone know of a way to keep iCal, Address Book and Safari Bookmarks in sync across three Macs that are connected via AirPort Extreme? I don't want to use MobilMe at this time.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
Frank

Hey, Lehmann:
You need a server to process the information being sent out by your Macs. The server is what will determine which machines need what information, and will initiate the transfer. The Airport Extreme can't be this server as it only contains the functionality of a router. Most developers opt to develop WAN-based syncing (ie, MobileMe, Exchange, etc.) because LAN would be covered under that umbrella, so it's two for the price of one (I also think syncing over WAN is more convenient and more often the desired solution).
I don't know of any LAN-based syncing solutions (ie, one that would turn one of your computers into the server to process the data and manage the syncing), but I can at least give you some of the tech language to help define what you're looking for and help your search.
Can I ask why you want to keep the syncing server local? Is it a security concern? I love MobileMe and would highly recommend it unless there is a need for military-level security.
