Okay, first off I can't see a dame thing, but thats okay. is it possible for you to plug in your apex directly into the cisco router? If so I think that will be better, one less port to worry about. I don't have much experience with mac but in pc, once your apex is hooked up using a cat 5 cable, you need to take a look at your lan setting, make sure what ever ip address you assign to your apex is with in range. 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.112 is the range I have on mine. I usually use 192.168.0.50 for my apex. Once that's established you need to pull up the cmd in your system and in pc c:\ will be on the screen, enter IPCONFIG/ALL and it will show you your network settings. Fill in the rest on your apex and that should take care of the lan setting for you. To make sure you have connection you can either enter the ip address that you assigned on your apex in the address screen or simply just type in APEX on the SAME NETWORK and it should take you to the apex screen.

Now once the lan connection has been made now you need to go through gaming and enable port forwarding. Fill in both port to 80 and the ip address 192.168.0.50. Save the setting on your cisco and go to either status or admin to find out what your INTERNET IP ADDRESS is and not your network ip. using a different INTERNET SOURCE ie 3g on your iphone and type in your internet address and see if that will take you to your apex or using aqua note.

btw apex doesn;t have the most stable web server so if you are really not getting anywhere, unplug and plug it back in, some time it just needs a kick to start it.

Good luck. let me know how it goes.

Apex is hard wired to the Cisco DPC 9825. I will still keep the Airport Exteme with Express's throughout the house. I can log into the Cisco wireless or the Airport Extreme with this set-up.

Thanks again to Bblink for taking some time out of his day to assist.

Issue is closed out.

Great success.......

Bblinks, I followed your instructions and I can remote login from my iPhone. The configuration is from the Apex straight to the Cisco. Thanks for you help, much appreciated.

We know now the controller is good and this is some kind of forwarding issue between the Airport and the Cisco.

If we can get a Mac guy on this thread it would be a great help. Ideally I would like to wire it to the Airport Express and transmit it to the Airport Extreme. I could even hard wire it to the Airport Extreme so it updates the firmware easily.

Anyone know?
