Port Forwarding for the Apple AirPort Extreame Base Station


What is Port Forwarding?
What is Port Triggering?




 

BitComet chooses a random port to listen on when you install it. Before we can forward ports for BitComet, we need to find out what port BitComet is using. Go ahead and open BitComet.



In the menu at the top of your screen, click Options. Clicking Options will cause a menu to drop down. In this new menu click Preferences.



In the menu on the left the top option Connection should be selected. On the right hand side of this window you should see a Listen Port option. That is the port that you need to forward. You can change it if you like. Please enter the listen port below.

There is one more thing we need to do. We need to shut off the UPNP of BitComet.



In the menu on the left hand side under Advanced, click Connection. There should be an Enable UPnP Port Mapping(XP only) checkbox on the right hand side. Make sure it is unchecked.

To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address. Take a look at our Static IP Address guide to setup a static ip address. When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.

Do not skip this step!

Please enter the static ip you want to forward to:

10.0.1.




Open up the finder on your Mac.

Click the Applications button near the left side of the page.

Click the Utilities button near the right side of the page.




Click the AirPort Admin Utility button near the right side of the page.




Select your AirPort Extreame Base Station from the Select Base Station list.

We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. BitComet requires you to forward the ports you entered above. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Port Mapping Add menu and then click Ok.

When you're finished, click Update near the bottom of the screen to save your changes.

And that's it! You're done!
