Ok... I've seen posts about this but have yet to find a simple solution for a mac. So I'm going to try to rephrase the question. If you have a mac and are using Airport (Extreme or Express) hooked up to a high speed modem (let's say Actiontec DSL. What should your settings be to get the fastest download possible? Many people report only getting 4k - 15k on their downloads (Bittorrent, Azureus).
Understading there are different set ups... but this one is common among mac users...
----------------------
.... "x" indicates IP address
Outside line coming in has ip address of "A" IP Address
to
To the BroadBand Modem "B" IP Address (I'm not sure if it has one of its own)
to
Airport "C" address (Airport is hooked via eithernet or wan port of the modem)
to
Your Computer "D" address
What should the settings be on the following ---
A) BroadBand Modem should have ______ set for the IP address (thinking of port forwarding here - using the Modem's config interface for the set-up)
B) Airport should have ______ set up in the Port mapping section
- does it matter what incription set up? Wep on or off?
C) You computer should have the following settings _______
- What in the Sharing Pref?
- What in the Network Pref?
D) should anything be set on the client itself? (bittorrent, Azureus)
Has any one figured this out and please share help fill in the blanks!
