Good evening,
I am not sure if I am posting this in the right forum, but thought I
should start here. I am a week into being a converted mac person and am
still in the "taking baby steps" process and am lost. Here is what I am
doing and whats happening and could use any and all advice.
I have a Windows XP desktop and a 12 inch powerbook with an airport
extreme card. The XP machine is plugged into the LAN port of the airport
extreme base station, the WAN port has my cable modem, and the powerbook
connects wirelessly. Both machines connect to the internet and the range
is better than I imagined. I have a program on my windows machine called
ISPQ which is a video chat program..I can send messages and not receive
them, which is normal with a router. I followed their instructions for the
airport and added port mapping for ports 2000-2003. Still, nothing. I
have this setup in port mapping as they instructed:
Public Port Private IP Address Private Port
2000 10.0.1.201 2000
2001 10.0.1.201
2001
2002 10.0.1.201 2002
2003 10.0.1.201
2003
my Router is 10.0.1.1
my powerbook is 10.0.1.2
my pc is10.0.1.3
I would also love to be able to get music files off of my pc into itunes
and am not sure if thats why the ispq program isn't working...because I
don't have a home network setup to share files...doing that is a whole
other burden at this point.
I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks very much
Tom
