Port Forwarding DC++ on the Apple AirPortExtreme
Before we can forward ports for DC++, we need to set which port DC++ is using. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that. Go ahead and open up DC++.
Click File in the menu at the top of your screen. In the list that drops down click Settings.
Make sure the Active radio button has a dot in it. I'm not absolutely sure that entering your external ip address in the IP box is required. You can try leaving it blank, but if you remain unconnectable try putting your external ip address into that box. Your external ip address is 38.107.179.223. Enter the port you want DC++ to use into the TCP Port and the UDP Port boxes. You can enter whatever port you like into those boxes, but a port between 10000-60000 will most likely not be blocked by your ISP. Please enter the port you chose into the box below.

To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address.
Try our free PF Setup Static IP Address Program which will setup a static ip address for you.
Or you can take alook 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!
Open up the finder on your Mac.
Click the Applications button near the left of the page.
Click the Utilities button near the right of the page.
Click the AirPort Admin Utility button near the right of the page.
Select Apple Base Station from the Select Base Station list.
Click the Port Mapping button near the top of the page.
Click the Add button near the right of the page.
We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. DC++ 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.

And that's it! You're done!
To test if your port has been properly forwarded, you can use our Port Checker tool.
