[QUOTE="confused.jon, post: 1202971, member: 195440"] OK, here goes: I have a time capsule acting as a router, connected to the internet via a vdsl modem (Huawei). On the LAN I have 2 PC's, a Mac Book Air, and an Apple TV all connecting successfully and able to access both the internet and the TC's hard drive. I have a static IP address (provided by Zen, my ISP). I have managed to connect over the internet to the TC on the MBA using afp: <static ip address>, but cannot connect a PC over the internet to the TC. I think I have mapped relevant ports on the TC (548 and 445), but I'm no expert. Are there ports on the vdsl that need mapping, and if so, how does one go about that? Any other ideas? All help welcome - I'm tearing my hair out! Thanks [/QUOTE]
