port forwarding problem time capsule

resolution

Hi mike

Did you manage to find a solution to this problem?
I am having similar issues trying to set up my time capsule and thinking about trading it in if i can! I've been searching the net for solutions for days now...

Cheers,
Jens

Finally managed to sort the issue. I had to open up access to the applicable applications in the firewall...
Hope others with this issue manage to find this thread as i cannot believe I could not find anything on the net with this solution!!

What Firewall? I think this might affect all ports.

I apologize if I missed something but where did this firewall come from?

I am having a similar issue but with all ports. The traffic flow looks like:

Internet --> Cisco 1800 --> TimeCapsule --> Apache Server

The TimeCapsule is providing DHCP and NAT. From the TC out is Public address space; From the TC in is Private address space.

In the TC I set Port Forwarding to forward port 80 TCP to Port 80 TCP on the appropriate machine. I also tried a few obscure port numbers as well just in case port 80 was being filtered. Other forwards that are not working are 5900 for VNC and 21 for FTP.

Thanks.

There's a firewall built into Mac OS X.
