    "Back to My Mac" with Etisalat DSL

    I'm trying to use "Back to My Mac" with Etisalat DSL. The pref pane tells me that I "may have one or more devices providing Network Address Translation" and that I need to "disable NAT on one of the devices".

    I'm using an Etisalat DSL Modem with an Apple Airport Extreme 802.11n Any Ideas what I need to configure differently on either device?

    Thanks!

    You will have to put the Etisalat DSL Modem in Bridge Mode, and then configure the Apple Airport Extreme to do the PPoE. Hope that helps...

    Hey Skoburn do you know if Apple's Airport Extreme still has the NAT bottle neck ? If so then I would recommend doing the exact opposite.

    What is Apple's bottleneck on NAT?

    Not apple per say, just the airport extreme it has a bottleneck in performance with regards to NAT. It is apparently due to the speed of the 802.11n vs the RFC governing NAT

    How do I configure the Airport Extreme to act as a bridge?

    Maan just trow it away...far far way. Apple network devices are not the best option in performance, security etc. Cisco, D-Link DFL series, Linsys Small business series or at least Netgear would be much better option.
