I went through the set up and everything looked good (slow blinking green light). But I entered the IP address I saw when setting up (from "view wi-fi settings" on the wi-fi utility). But, when I go to the portal to enter my IP it does not connect ("unreachable"). Not sure if I should post my IP on this (I dont know if you are supposed to do that or not?).

you should be using your "external" ip address not your internal (usually 192. or 10.)

If you go to http://www.whatismyip.com/ it will tell you your external ip. Make sure you are entering that. If that does not work your firewall is probably blocking port 2000.

You should be able to find a guide at http://portforward.com/ for your router.

it is a 10.

I guess I need to check out the firewall settings on my router (its an apple time capsule router).

I posted some screenshots of how my Airport Extreme (same as Timecapsule minus internal harddrive) is configured.

great, thanks!

now im even more confused. I use the address in the above link for my IP instead of the one I saw in the wi-fi utility setup? It was a 10. in the wi-fi utility. Also my airport utilty looks different than the one in the link above. Do I do a DHCP reservation? or Enable NAT Port mapping protocol? I am really confused.

Finally figured it out, now how do i give my attachment a static ip address (i think thats what i want, so it doesnt change?)

Edit: Ok i reserved a dhcp lease, but there is not an unlimited setting, for now i picked 365 days

Edit: changed it to a bunch of 99999s so i should be good!

if you look up in the post I asked the same question and binder said instead to reserve the address it grabbed instead of using a static ip. I never did find a way to assign a static ip to the wifi device. thx

The ip to my wi-fi changed all the time, so I reserved an address for it using its MAC address, I reserved it for like 9999999999 days give or take a 9 or two.

The lease time on the reserved address shouldn't really matter. Mine are all set for 1 day. What I did with mine is have mine serve up an ip address outside the normal DHCP range. My DHCP range is from 100-150. And here's what my static IP leases look like.
