Problems with IWP and Airport Extreme

[Kevin Cheesman]

Our old router has died and we've changed to an Airport Extreme.

Filemaker now says we should use 192.168.254.1 so I have gone into IPv6 Firewall Setup Assistant and set the IPv6 address as 192.168.254.1 and the TCP and UDP ports as 80

We have a static IP address and I cannot access FileMaker from outside our network but could with the old router with port redirection.

What I'm I doing wrong?

192.168.254.1 is not an IPv6 address. Forget all about IPv6 for the time being.

The port forwarding for general day-to-day user/developer access to FileMaker Pro requires TCP port 5003 and UDP port 5003.

Port 80 is not needed for FileMaker unless you are using the web services. If you want admin access to FileMaker Server Admin Console from outside the router you'll need some other ports as well, but let's get this right with 5003 first.

Hope that gets you at least some of the way along. Come back if you need more help.

Thanks for the reply.

OK, so I've deleted the IPv6 entry and gone for...

Share a public IP address and gone for Personal Web sharing.

I've entered the IP address and ports to 591 but when I try to update the setting I get "The DCHP range conflicts with the WAN IP address."

I don't know what to do now.

I need IWP working as I have staff that have to access our database.

Still can't get this to work.

I'm using a Modem that was supplied by Demon and that is connected to the Airport Extreme. I've tried all sorts of settings by get a message about the DHCP range conflict.

Can anyone help me get this sorted? It was easy with the dLink router.
