Having a problem with DSL modem and determining my actual IP so I can connect 2 mac's running panther via apple remote desktop. Local(Admin) Mac connected through: airport - router - cable modem... Remote(client) Mac is connected via SBC ADSL Dynamic PPOE connection. I can successfully network and mount volumes on the client machine by using the settings provided by the system prefrences/sharing information... It states the computer's address at: adsl-68-82-181-1.dsl.akrnoh.ameritech.net ...When using the connect to server command with this address allowed me to log in and file share fine... However when I try to use Apple Remote Desktop, I am unable to establish a communication with this address... I tried Timbuktu as well and recieved am having the same issue... I have tried using also 68.82.181.1 as an IP formatting and still was unsuccessful. I later noticed that even though the DSL Modem is directly connected to the computer, The network page displays a router address which is different than the actual IP address... Does the DSL modem have an internal router that needs port configuring???? I never heard of this but I am running out of ideas... I tried using the Router IP address 68.82.183.0 and this was "unable to establish communication" All my sharing prefrences are checked... My firewall's are all off... Anybody shed some insight? Much Aprreciated...
