Is there any way to use port forwarding on an Airport Extreme? I don't know the exact model but I know for a fact that it is the newest kind.

Well, I found out that it will not work for me because my router (The Airport Extreme) is hooked up to another router which is then connected to the Internet. For this to work, I would need to have the Airport Extreme connected directly into the Internet.

Well, since that detail was not in your question, this doesn't really answer your question. But indeed: chaining routers might give double-NAT issues, which can also be circumvented by putting the Extreme in bridging mode (something like "Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode)"). – Arjan Dec 21 '10 at 21:05

Yes. Click Manual Setup to get into the detailed config view, then click the Advanced category and select the Port Mapping tab. Click + at the bottom of the list, and type in the port & IP address info.

When I go to the Advanced category, I don't have a "Port Mapping" tab. I just have "Logging and Statistics", "MobileMe", and "IPv6". – Wuffers Dec 19 '10 at 18:09
Hm - what's your firmware and Airport Utility version? – martona Dec 19 '10 at 19:32
You can also get to the Port Mapping screen from the Internet category: select the NAT tab then click Configure Port Mappings. – martona Dec 19 '10 at 19:33
@martona: Airport Utility: 5.5.2. Firmware: 7.5.1 – Wuffers Dec 19 '10 at 19:34
@martona: I don't have a "NAT" tab under the "Internet" category, either. – Wuffers Dec 19 '10 at 19:42
