Port forward a range of IPs in AirPort Utility?

[MythicFrost]

I have a dynamic IP and want to know if it's possible to forward a range of IPs in AirPort Utility. I know this can be done for a range of ports.

Say every private ip address on my network is 100.0.0 + "0-99", mine being for example, 100.0.0.25

Is it possible to do something like 100.0.0* or 100.0.0.0-100.0.0.99?

Appreciate any input,
Cheers

Unfortunately that's not possible to do.

Bummer... thanks for letting me know!

I don't have an AEBS running now to check, but an older quirky method on some unix programs was this:

100.0.0.

You might see if it will accept that. It doesn't have the flexibility other methods do, but that's just the way it was done (sendmail comes to mind).

What is it you're actually trying to do? You can't forward a range of IP addresses to one public facing IP address; there's no way to determine which traffic is intended to go to which computer on your internal network. You would need to set up a VPN in order to access the same services on multiple computers via one external IP address.

It's OK. I don't want to fiddle with it too much. I'm forwarding a bunch of ports to play a game I like, but I'm on a dynamic IP (and not going to change that) so my IP could change, so I'd like to open the ports on ALL of the possible IPs that my router could give me (which is basically 0-99).

I'll just change it when I need to though. Thanks guys.

In that case, just use the router to reserve a DHCP address for your computer so that it always gets assigned the same address. You only have to make the change on the router once. Follow step #5 in these directions for the Airport Utility: https://support.apple.com/kb/PH5140

Once you've done that you can forward the ports you need for that one IP address.

Ah great to know. Thanks for that!
