Good article, but this doesn’t seem to make use of my router ip, any advice?

Thanks again.
I think I just about understand where you’re coming from.
Its a shame my technical knowledge is limited. All I want to do is play the damn game!
I’ll see if I can give what you’ve mentioned, a go.

Thanks again.

If your WAN IP is in the 192.168.1.X range then you most likely have another router passing out IP addresses on your network. Note that the router might be in a combined product such as an ADSL modem/router. Your public IP (the one given to you by your ISP) would not be in that range. If this is the case you should either:

1. Disable DHCP on the other device if you are able.

2. set up your AirPort to relay network connections and set the other device to handle the port mapping.

Two devices passing out IP’s to the same subnet causes conflicts and changing that setup might rid you of the need to set up port forwarding in the first place.

Thanks for the help, but I’m afraid I’m getting the same problem using those exact figures.
It mentions: “The DHCP range you have entered conflicts with the WAN IP address of your Apple wireless device.”

sorry to be so problematic. Have you any idea what I could try next?

Hello Lee.

What you’ve encountered here is normal and expected if your AirPort Extreme base station has not been used for passing out IP’s to your network.

The short answer: Choose 192.168. from the pull down menu, enter “1″ in the field next to it. Then enter 10 in start address field (so that it says 192.168.1.10) and 128 in the end address field (resulting in 192.168.1.128).

If you’re not satisfied without further options:
Choose a base series (either 192.168.1.x or 10.0.1.x) and enter in the to- and from numbers. The lowest number you can set in the from box is 1 and the highest in the to box is 255. I recommend you choose something like 10 for the starting point and 128 for the end unless you plan on having more than 118 machines on the same network at the same time.

I am actually not certain if you need to make sure that the addresses you reserve for DCHP client ID has to be within this range but it worked for me with the reserved addresses inside the range so give that a go.

Hi.
I’ve got an airport extreme, and tried what you said, however the displays did not look exact to me. I gave it a shot anyway and followed the process through as closely to your example as possible.

Got right to the end of it, until I was asked to ‘CORRECT THE PROBLEM BELOW BEFORE UPDATING THIS WIRELESS DEVICE’.

Its now asking me for the DHCP beginning address, and also for the ending address?

Any ideas?
Thanks.

The DHCP Client ID is a sort of middle way between static IP and full dynamic DHCP, so that should be all you need. If you still get disconnected it sounds like your internet connection is either slow or suffering from overload. Note that having torrents running will strangle your connection with thousands of data packets. Playing online games with torrents in progress on another machine on the same connection is asking too much on even a fast broadband line.
