Greetings to all,
As I will be leaving home for quite a period (without my G4 Powerbook 10.3.8), I would like to be able to connect so as to 'peep' and share files with my powerbook remotely when I am away.
To my understanding, I would need to enable 'Personal File Sharing' in the Services tab located in System Preference. And to connect remotely I need to type in the ip address stated after "Other Macintosh users can access your computer at ..." But since I am using Airport Extreme on a local network, it didn't say much except 'afp://localhost/'.
I reckoned i am connected via a router. Also from some readings, they say I have to set the router to send incoming connections specifically to my computer.
An immediate question, is my Apple Extreme base station also acting as a router or is my Alcatel SpeedTouch Home a router. If it's the former then configuring it would be possible in Airport Admin Utility as I find no documentation on configuring the latter ie. port forwarding.
Is port mapping in Airport Admin Utility an equivalent to port forwarding?
Now that (if) I am behind a router, under DHCP i will have a dynamic IP address. Will getting a dynamic domain name help (www.dyndns.org) help in anyway?
Is SSH a solution?
Thank you for any information rendered
