I have been reading forums and most of the problems I have found are people trying to vpn remote login to their work computers from their home network using a base station. I am trying to remote login to my computer that is on my airport network from outside the network. I am running the newer "n" extreme base station with the most current firmware. I am trying to vpn into my computer using my iphone. I have successfully done it from within my network but that defeats the purpose of having remote login for me. I set up port mapping to map port 5900 to my computer's physical ip address on the network with the airport utility. OSX firewall is not enabled. I went to a website that told me what my router's public ip address is on the internet and had my iphone try to connect to that. In theory the iphone should try to connect to the router's public ip address on 5900 and then map it to my computer's physical ip address...I still cannot get a connection. If I had another computer I would try to connect with that to make sure it is not the iphone...but remember it does connect just fine when connecting within the same network. Please help, this is getting very frustrating.
