Back from work earlier this evening just to realize that the f... Linksys router has been fried by the thunderstorms we had this afternoon when we lost power.
Anyway, I configured my AirPort base station (Snow) to act as the router and distribute my DSL connection among my PowerBook and my PowerMac which acts as my web server. As I had in my Linksys config, I did add a few entries in the access port section of the AirPort admin, so that incoming requests on ports 80 and 8080 would be redirected to my PowerMac. I configured the PowerMac manually so that I could specify an IP address that wouldn't change. The PowerMac works fine and can access the internet. However, from my PowerBook, I can't access my web site using the WAN IP address that was attributed to my base station. I thought that I could do it since the information in the "Port Mapping" section specifically says: "If you want to use a Web, AppleShare, FTP, or other server on the network, you can specify private IP addresses to map to specific TCP/IP ports in this window." So, am I missing something?
