Is your IP address in the range of private IP addresses, for
example 10.0.1.2? If yes, then you'll need a NAT gateway that
either supports UPnP Home Gateway protocol, or one that supports
NAT Port Mapping Protocol (NAT-PMP). Currently, AirPort base
stations don't support either of these protocols.
... I'd like to know what is supported currently by the various
manufacturers products in this area, and, to the extent possible,
what might be coming. I've been looking at wireless station
descriptions and this level of detail is really well hidden! What
about Belkin, Linksys, etc ?
I really don't know which models support UPnP, but hopefully the
newer models will.
I see, in the DNSServiceDiscovery Programming Guide section of
the developer Bonjour documentation, "Starting with Mac OS X v10.4,
Bonjour supports the automatic Network Address Translation (NAT)
port mapping feature of Apple's Airport Extreme Base Station device".
I also see the first hit on Google for "NAT-PMP" is "The NaTPmP
microphone pre-amp user guide ..." so maybe I'm too impatient !!
Currently, no shipping NAT gateways support NAT-PMP, however, this
could change in the near future. Sorry I can't be more specific.
