Port Mapping problem with a Snow Base Station

I wish to enable port mapping with my Airport Snow Base Station. (SBS) I am using an Earthlink Efficient Stream 5667 DSL modem to my SBS. I am running firmware version 4.0.9 and connecting with 10.4.3.
So -- enabling port mapping requires that the IP address on my 10.4.3 computer doesn't change, and that I then map the ports. However, I can not manually assign an IP (say 10.0.1.201) as my 10.4.3 can not connect using either "DHCP with manual address" or "manually" (where the router and subnet mask match the DHCP assignment)
What should I do?

Do not use the "DHCP with manual IP address" - that is a mode not supported by most networking devices on the market.
What you should do: on your Mac, open System Preferences->Network->Show Airport->TCP/IP tab. Select to "configure manually". Then enter the following parameters:
- IP address: 10.0.1.201
- subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
- router/gateway IP: 10.0.1.1
- DNS IP: use either 10.0.1.1, or enter the actual IP address(es) of your ISP's domain name servers

  • Port Mapping Problem with AEX

    I have a new Airport Extreme and a problem that did not exist with the Airport. I connect a Toshiba network camera to an Airport Express, set as a WDS remote, with the netcam connected to the wired ethernet port of the Express. I can see the netcam, which also functions as a web server, on the internal 10.x.x.x address, and have reserved a discrete 10.x.x.x address via the MAC/DHCP reservation function of the Extreme. Just like the older Airport which did this without a hiccup, I should be able to map a port (e.g. 1200) on the public IP to port 80 of the internal 10.x.x.x address, then access the netcam on the internal network from any browser (http://67.x.x.x:1200). My cable modem is just that: no router involved other than the Airport Extreme. I'm using the latest Extreme and Express firmware, and am either missing something with the new Leopard firewall, overlooking something else, or dealing with a product flaw. Any help is appreciated and Happy Holidays.

    I have forwarded the port (have tried several different ports actually) in what I think it the correct way: using the Airport Utility, connected to the Airport Extreme, and, under advanced options, selected port mapping, entered the public TCP port of 1200, then the private 10.x.x.x IP address of the netcam (which I can access from the internal network with no problem), coupled with the private TCP port of 80. I then attempt to access the netcam from the Internet by entering http://my cable modem IP address:1200 (or another port to which I've attempted to map). This method worked for two years with the Airport, but, with the Extreme and Leopard (simultaneous transition), I'm stumped. After reading other about other port mapping problems, I reserved an IP address for the netcam based on its MAC with no positive results. I also set the firewall through the Security icon in System Preferences to allow all incoming connections. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

  • How to configure a Snow base station with Snow Leopard?

    According to "Mac OS X v10.6: About incompatible software"
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3258?viewlocale=en_US
    ...AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow 4.2.5 is incompatible with Snow Leopard.
    I have a Snow AirPort Base Station, and AirPort Utility 5.4.2 doesn't seem to be able to see it. (At least I can't figure out how to make it do so.) Can it not work with a Snow Base Station?
    Now what?

    One solution is to keep a pre-Snow Leopard OS installation (either on another partition or external drive) and then boot from that when you need to configure the snow AirPort base station (ABS).
    Another solution is to use another Mac running a pre-Snow Leopard OS to configure the snow ABS.
    Since the snow ABS was discontinued 6 years ago I can understand why support is going away.
    The last PowerPC was shipped only 3 years ago and that is not supported by Snow Leopard either.

  • MacBook problems with Snow base station - other laptops work fine

    Hi,
    I just purchased a new MacBook to replace an iBook G4 800.
    My snow base station works fine with the old iBook G4 (which has an extreme card) and with a borrowed PowerBook G4 Aluminum 1.5 GHz (also extreme card) but will not work with my new Mac Book. Every time I try to connect - I receive an error "There has been an error accessing "my name" 's network. Sometimes it will connect, other times (most of the time), it will not.
    My MacBook connects fine to my neighbors Linksys access points and our work Lucent access points (which are b also - snow is b).
    I did a search and am reading other people having similiar problems. I was wondering if anyone has resolved their problems. I spent 2 plus hours on the phone with Apple yesterday. They are placing the blame on the older base station (snow) but it is obvious that snow is working fine for other computers.
    Theresa

    I am still a little confused. I can be 2 feet from my base station and will keep hitting "try again" when trying to access my network and will get "an error has occurred" many times and eventually it will connect and I will have an incredibly strong signal. My MacBook will continue to have a great strong signal until it goes to sleep and then I will have a difficult time connecting again. My neighbors base station is a weak signal and I can easily join their network. Every time I connect, I have problems but once connected, it is great.
    I guess it can be interference but I am now wondering if it is related to the snow/graphite base station only. This laptop has no problems joining other b base stations.
    I spent hours on the phone with an Apple wireless support specialist the other night. He wants me to try an Extreme base station. He didn't indicate that he was aware of any MacBook problems (and he mentioned interference and we setup my laptop to only join my network and it didn't make a difference).
    More to come.... IF anyone switched to a Extreme Base Station and that worked fine - please let me know. Though I sort of resent having a functional b base station that works with every other laptop and have to spend $200 towards another base station because of a new laptop.

  • Dial up with snow base station

    Is it possible to hook up dial up to the snow base station and make it wireless? Thanks in advance.

    Did you use the AirPort Admin Utility to configure the modem? Open the Utility and click on the Internet tab.
    If your Mac is connecting wirelessly, the Mac's Network preference pane must be configured to use AirPort.

  • Snow base station and windows vista

    I have a Snow airport base station which has been happily sending its wireless signal to my 4 Macs for the past several years without any significant problems. Recently, I came to inherit a Windows notebook running Vista that I cannot connect to my wireless network despite my best efforts. The notebook is able to see the network without difficulty but cannot connect wirelessly to the internet.
    I also have an Airport express which I use to extend to range of the network, but this is not recognized by the notebook either.
    I have been able to connect this notebook without difficulty to a wireless network at my local Apple store, as well as at my neighbors, where at each an Airport extreme serves as a router.
    I suspect that the Vista notebook is not recognizing the Snow airport router and that if I want to connect to the internet, I will ultimately have to upgrade to the Airport extreme. I post this to see if anyone has had a similar problem and can give directions for a fix before I buy an Airport extreme as a last resort.

    Hello adharris. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I suspect the problem is with wireless encryption. I assume, since your using a Snow base station, that your Snow's wireless network is encrypted using WEP ... correct? If this is so, please try (temporarily) disabling wireless encryption and then see if you your Vista laptop can connect. If the laptop can now connect, you will need to provide the Equivalent Network Password to the PC in order for it to connect. (ref: AirPort Extreme: Getting an equivalent network password)
    A few things to consider about the Dual Ethernet (aka Snow) AirPort base station (ABS):
    o The latest firmware for this base station is v4.09.
    o There is no WPA support. Only the older WEP wireless encryption protocols are supported.
    o The Snow's WAN port is only 10 Mbps. If your ISP connection is faster than that, the WAN port will limit the connection speed.
    o The Snow will only operate in the 802.11b radio mode which is limited to a theoretical maximum of 11 Mbps.

  • Snow Base Station - No IP Address

    I have a snow base station that cannot seem to get an IP address from my cable modem. I've tried restarting the base station. Restarting the modem. Restarting both. Hard restart of the base station that put it back to factory settings. It only gets a 169... IP address. The Graphite gets a valid IP address immediately. The snow has previously been used with a DSL modem, so I know that the hardware should work. I have it plugged into the WAN ethernet port (the one with the funny dot-circle), but I have checked it on the other port just in case. Any ideas as to what else I can try? Thanks.

    I would also make sure that the DNS for the AirPort is set to the same IP address as the one the cable modem. The AirPort has to pull an IP address from the ISP's DHCP server to work properly.

  • Headaches with my new base station.

    My new Airport Extreme 802.11N is being very strange. I need help. I've wasted 6 hours on it!!:)
    To start with. My ISP requires a pppoe connection. So, with the new base station I plugged directly into the wan port from there access point (a poe injector that goes to the wireless antenna)
    I set up the PPPOE settings through the automated wizard and have it on share a single IP address. It connects to the server and the time box comes up in my menu bar with how long it has been connected. Try going somewhere and it just says connecting and never goes anywhere. Any suggestions?
    At this time the airport is in bridge mode, I can log in and internet works fine. LAN works fine. Problem. Only one computer at a time can log directly online. I need everyone connected.
    I really need some help!! I would think that if it works in bridge mode. I should theoretically be able to then switch that to share the connection and everyone could use it? I'm stumped:(

    I am here for the very same reason! We have spent way too much time on this thing!
    I had it backing up yesterday and now Time Machine says it has nowhere to back up and wont configure the settings!
    I am way beyond frustrated.

  • Can't configure Snow Base Station - error updating configuration.

    I recently found a cheap Airport Snow Base Station to use on a trip I'm taking next week. I'll be at a lake house with no broadband, only dial-up capability. I thought if I could at least go wireless, it would be more bearable, so I got the Snow Base Station since my Express nor my Extreme Base Station have modems.
    I downloaded the Airport Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow, and did a hard reset on the base station. It shows up in the utility as 00-03- etc. with IP address of 192.42.249.13. When I click Configure, it says the base station has been reset and is currently not configured. I click OK to upload software to the base station, it asks for my administrator password then after about 12 seconds, it comes back and says "An error occurred while updating the configuration."
    Any suggestions? It's connected via ethernet to the LAN port, it says the base station version is currently 4.0.2.
    Thanks for any assistance.

    I've managed to resolve the error code by the following:
    1. Turn Off Airport Card
    2. Unplug Power Cable to Time Capsule
    3. Disconnect Ethernet Cables
    4. Wait 30secs
    5. Plug in Power Cable to Time Capsule and allow unit to power up.
    6. Connect via Ethernet to the ethernet ports on the Time Capsule
    7. Airport Utility should know locate, but importantly allow you access to configure Manual set-up
    Hope this helps

  • Can I set up a WDS network with two main base stations?

    I have an AEBS in the main part of the house and a time capsule in the office in the back of the house, currently with one internet connection (it's cable modem) into to the AEBS. I have tried to use relays (two airport expresses) in a WDS to have the internet connection reach the time capsule, but unfortunately the distance is too great and it won't make it.
    I can move the internet connection and AEBS into the middle of the house and everything would be fine (one internet connection into the house, no need for relays to reach the time capsule), but this requires rewiring the cable connection and adding a power outlet, which seems like a lot of work.
    My other option is to simply have another internet connection hardwired into the office. This would be using the same cable that comes into the house and is split outside. If I go this route--my question is--can I get the time capsule and the AEBS be on the same WDS network (same name, same passwords?), or will I have two separate networks in the house? If it is the former--how do I set it up? Can I have a WDS with two main base stations? Or is there an easier route?
    Thanks the help and advice...

    Just run the Ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on the AEBS to the WAN port on the Time Capsule. Configure the Time Capsule to operate as a bridge.
    You do not use WDS when they are wired together.
    Then configure the AEBS and Time Capsule to use the same SSID, wireless encryption type/level/password. Have them operate on different channels as far apart as possible.

  • Can't configure my Snow base station after Hard Reset

    Hello -
    I am having trouble configuring my Snow base station after a hard reset.
    Airport Admin Utility will not see or connect to it.
    I get the error:
    "The AirPort admin utlity was unable to
    read the configuration file of the selected
    base station.
    An error occurred while reading the configuration."
    any suggestions?
    I need to completely erase it and give it a different configuration altogether.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards - Dustin

    I can only offer sympathies. I have exactly the same problem.
    A question:
    1) After a hard reset of the ABS according to the procedures in Articles 106602 & 106685, at step 14 does Airport Admin(AA) find your ABS?
    (I can reliably get to this point, however loading default software fails. I noticed that the Airport ID is zeroed! )
    2) In AA have you tried connecting to 10.0.1.1 using your ABS password?
    3) Can you create a c2c network? (I can connect my iMacs together reliably, so it is not a radio noise issue.)
    I firmly believe this is a s/w issues somehow related to the recent upgrades. I only recenly bought my ABS, after replacing my Graphite for similar reasons. This is becoming unreasonablely time consuming and expensive.
    I know this is a bit 'blah, blah', but I'm scratchng around too and would appreciate help! (I had to drill a hole in the wall to get 'hardwired' to the net, so I could get on here, this is not good!)

  • Oops. Messed up Snow Base Station system that worked..

    My Snow Base Station ran fine with the Pacbell ADSL modem for seven years.
    Had three laptops and tower at home wireless with no issue.
    Yesterday, after getting Road Runner cable modem installed, tried to use it with the cable modem - had disasters continually so tried to go back to the old ABC plus ADSL modem.
    1. My airport base station shows up in Airport bar.
    2. Shows up in Airport Administration utility.
    3. have the Pacbell domain numbers and all of that in the TCP/IP window.
    However,
    Still no internet and when I launched Airport Setup Assistant, the base station shows up as a network but it doesn't show up other than that and I still can't on the internet.
    Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.
    So furious I messed this up; should have stayed with the Pacbell modem.

    I too messed up my once working network. I have an eMac that was connected (hardwired) to my Snow Base and an iBook G4 that was connecting wirelessly. Both could access the internet just fine.
    Then I switched the Airport Base out for a D-Link wireless router (for some reason my wife's PDA couldn't connect to the Airport network, but can with the D-Link) That was, anyway, for about 1 day, which is when the D-link stopped working. I tried to go back to the Snow base, but now I can't get it to work.
    I can connect (using PPOE), if I hardwire my eMac right to the DSL modem (Verizon Westell Wirespeed), but not when it's going through the Snow base. Everything is hooked up correctly cable wise, my passwords and user names are correct. But when the ABS is hooked up to the modem, it can't connect. The ABS also shows up just fine as a wireless network on my iBook. I can access it via Airport Admin, but when I try to get online, it just says "looking for PPOE Host" but never connects.
    I'm pretty sure I've got it configured correctly, Airport is using PPOE and the Emac is set to DHCP. I basically just reverted to the settings I had when it was set up last.
    I'll try the power cycling, hopefully that works, if not...
    HEEEEELPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!

  • Snow base station next to imac - yet not getting full strength reception?

    I have my snow base station sitting about 1 foot from my imac, yet only 3 out of the four bars are dark. Meaning I'm not getting full reception? Why is this is? I can't say I notice a significant difference in internet usage, but every little bit helps. I only have a cordless 5.8 ghz phone and my Harmon Kardon soundsticks speakers on the same desk. But from what I understand, 5.8 ghz are not supposed to interfere with cordless internet.
    Any suggestions?

    Duane, I've tried every channel and no improvement. The only thing I have discovered is if I hold the base station in my hand and lift it up above my head - I get full signal strength. However, if I hold it up and place it against the wall (as though I were to hang it), it drops back down to three bars.
    Do you think if I got the newest airport express, my signal strength would be better? Or do you think a more insulated ethernet cable would help? Or could it be my imac airport card?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Snow Base Station Connection Flashes In and Out

    I just got a 'new' snow base station, and once I set it up, its connection cycles in and out and in and out. AP Grapher shows spikes in noise, signal, quality, everything. Connection last less than a second, drops for maybe a full second, connects again for less than a second, ad nauseam. The old, graphite one, is fine. I checked to make sure the new one is on the same channel, same multicast rate, same interference robustness, etc. Everything is the same except that the snow base station has a 128 bit password. What's going on with this thing?

    Woops. Should have gone through all the settings. In case it helps anyone else - resetting and resetting-up does not remove Access Control Settings. My computers weren't on the authorized list.

  • WRV200 port mapping problems.

    I did the port mapping to enable direct IP dialing from Linksys PAP2 VoIP adapter. It worked fine, untill I replaced the old router with a new WRV200.
    The funny thing is the mapping works for some time, then it stops to work. To bring it back to work I have to restart the WRV200 router.
    Everything worked fine with old Digitus DN-11005 router. I did not changed the settings in the PAP2 adapter. And, I used the same port mapping settings with WRV200 router. The PAP2 is set to DHCP and static IP is set through static DHCP client list in WRV200.
    The only change from the old Digitus LAN settings is a different subnet IP. The old one was 192.168.123.0 the new one is 192.168.122.0
    The direct IP dialing is done through WAN of the local Internet service provider. Both locations had the same Digitus router and PAP2 adapters installed with the same port mapping and PAP2 adapter settings. Now with one router changed to WRV200 the system does not work correctly. It looks like the port mapping in WRV200 stops working in about an hour after last usage of this feature.
    Static CP Client Lis

    I've been busy playing with the issue. Looks, like it is not the port mapping issue, after all.
    The LAN is constructed from the WRV200 router and a Surecom EP-805SX 5 port switch connected to one of the router ports. The PAP2 adapter is connected through the switch.
    When the PAP 2 appears to be locked it does not make outside calls, and it does not receive them. SIP registering does not work, as well. So, the communication with Internet does not work. In the same time, I can access the web config page of the PAP adapter. To bring everything back to normal I need to pull out and back in one of the WRV200 LAN port plugs. So, reseting of the whole router is not necesary, because disconnecting one of the LAN ports does the trick. What is bugging me is, it works with any of the 4 LAN ports. It does not have to be the LAN port the PAP2 is connected with.
    I've noticed, also, a computer connected to the same switch the PAP is connected with has some problem to communicate with the DHCP server of the WRV200 router, from time to time.
