Content server (externally) on Mac through AEBS
Hello there,
Has anyone been able to successfully serve their Calibre library on a Mac external of their local network through an Airport Extreme Base Station? I'm having the hardest time with this. I'm running Calibre on Mountain Lion, on port 8888. I forwarded port 8888, and am trying to connect to my library from outside my local network using the external ip address and the port, but can't get to it. I've tried going through previous discussions, but still can't get it to work. Any advice? |

Oof
Oh my, no wonder it wasn't working! You're right: I foolishly assumed my port forwarding had worked. These are the settings I have:
Firewall Entry Type: IPv4 Port Mapping Description: Calibre Public UDP Ports: 8888 Public TCP Ports: 8888 Private IP Address: XXX.XXX.1.7 Private UDP Ports: 8888 Private TCP Ports: 8888 Does that look right to you? I'm not sure what I've done incorrectly, and I really would appreciate your help. I'm an avid reader, and not being able to access my library is driving me around the bend! Thanks so very much! |

Ah, I see what I may have done wrongly: I didn't reserve an IP address. Okay, will try that. Thanks so much!

Sigh - still not working
Nope, even with an IP address reserved, I still can't get this to work. :-(
