I keep getting the "Back to my mac isnt working properly because you may have more than one device on your network providing NAT" error..

I have a linksys wireless N router and uPnP is a lost cause as far as I'm concerned with linksys routers. I've never gotten anything to port forward correctly with it.

Is there a set of ports and instructions to get it to forward correctly so I can use Back to My Mac between my home and office computer and Laptop?

Thanks in Advance!! :apple:

When signing in to MobileMe and enabling Back to My Mac, TCP port 443 is used. For connections between machines, Back to My Mac typically uses UDP port 4500.

There is a BTMM user guide here:

Hmm... I set both of those ports on the router and nothing changed in BTMM. I also read through the PDF and it didnt really elaborate on how to do it with a non-airport router. I have linksys routers at home and my office. =/

finally

I got this to work with much effort. I was also getting the "you may have more than one device on your network providing NAT" error. Here are some settings.

D-Link DIR-655 A4-1.21 DSL Modem
Port Forwarding 443 and 4500 for both TCP and UDP
Firewall: Enable SPI: Off
UDP Endpoint Filtering: Address Restricted
TCP Endpoint Filtering: Address Restricted
Advanced Network: Enable UPnP: Yes

Netopia Motorola DSL Modem/Router from sonic.net
UpnP: Yes
Bridge Connection: Yes
Pass Through IP: Yes to D-Link router at 192.168.0.1


Good luck!
