| Speedtouch 585 Singnet and Back to my Mac
I struggled to make this work, so I thought I could share the combination that worked (for me!).
What didn't work : connecting my computer directly to the speedtouch. Even if UPnP was enabled, the Back to my mac feature wouldn't turn to green. Looks like the modem or the firmware are outdated. The firmware update function in the GUI didn't work as well (again, maybe the stuff is not maintained any more...)
Instead I used a spare Airport Extreme Base Station (the old round b/g model) and used it as a DMZ for my home network. To do so, at the speedtouch level, I assigned the public address of the router to the AEBS (In the "Interface" section of the speedtouch menu). The speedtouch became therefore a bridge. (Side note : As a result it is no more accessible by the Web interface to the computers that are behind the AEBS.)
Then the AEBS has been set up as the DHCP server for my home network, with NAT-PMP enabled.
A side benefit of this operation is that my Wii WiFi connection to the Internet that never worked despite all my efforts began to function ! cool... |
