Portforwarding on a Airport Extreme

[marbleduck]

I'd like to forward a port to a Win7 x86-running Macbook Air using an Airport Extreme, so I can host a server for a game without all that Hamachi crap. I have no idea where to start, any help is appreciated.

Did you try these search results already?

I guess I really just need to know how to find the local ip on a win7 comp.

And I actually searched "airport extreme port mapping". The result I came up with didn't really work.

Also, I don't know what "port configuration" or whatever to use for hosting a game...

Start > Run > cmd > ipconfig /all

I guess I really just need to know how to find the local ip on a win7 comp.

In Windows 5 and 5.1 one could find out via the command line, which is started via pressing WINDOWS KEY + R and entering CMD and pressing ENTER. I don't know about Windows 6 and 6.1 though.
In the command line tool one enters the following code:

ipconfig /all

That will give the address of the router and your IP address, but I guess one could find it also via the network preferences for the interface you have selected to connect to you home network (wirelessly or Ethernet).

And I actually searched "airport extreme port mapping". The result I came up with didn't really work.

What didn't work?

Also, I don't know what "port configuration" or whatever to use for hosting a game...

That could be asked on the message board regarding hosting the game you want to host.

My current-firmware Airport Extreme doesn't have that setting

I have a gigabit Airport Express (single-band, so like 2-3 years old) and I'm running the latest firmware for it (7.5.2) but under 'Advanced' the 3 top-level tabs are 'Logging & Statistics', MobileMe, and IPv6 - the port forwarding is noticeably absent. When I search for the setting in the top right corner, port mapping comes up - but when I click it - nothing happens. It's like the search expects the function to be there - but it's actually not there.

Any suggestions?

I've narrowed down my problem (sorry if I'm hi-jacking this thread, I think it's relevant): when I go to 'Internet' and 'Internet Connection' only when I change the 'Connection Sharing' options to an option other than 'Off (Bridge Mode)' - then under the top 'Advanced' Tab do I get port mapping. But I can't apply the settings because it says there's a DHCP IP range conflict.
