Back To My Mac Manual Port Forwarding
How can I open access to port 8080 from the outside world (private lan) on my Mac OS X Lion? I'd like to access a webpage that's running on my lamp stack on my mac (zend server ce) from within the lan. I can access port 80 just fine. Port 8080 is blocked on the other hand. I've also disabled the firewall. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes Apple will go back to a MagSafe charging connector, and Bloomberg's Mark Gurman in a separate report agreed and clarified that the MagSafe port will.
- Apple's Back to My Mac service, which was supposed to make it easy to remotely access your Mac's files, doesn't always work as advertised. Glenn Fleishman explains how to get it up and running.
- As of July 1, 2019, Back to My Mac service is no longer available. You can use these alternatives for file access, screen sharing, and remote desktop access. Access files across your devices with iCloud Drive.
.edit. In case it wasn't already obvious from my above post, this is with manual port forwarding, not upnp or nat-pmp. I explicitly manually forwarded port 36802 (and also 36804) on my Airport Extreme to my mac's current local DHCP IP. My Airport Extreme is running the latest software, and I have hard power-cycled it and rebooted my mac too.
Hello,I have manually confirmed that my port forward is working correctly*, but Transmission still reports that the port is closed. I'm running Mac OS X version 2.75 (13665), which the app tells me is the latest version.
Is there a way to fix the detection?
Does it matter - with the detection failing, is Transmission telling other clients not to bother trying to initiate connections to me?
* I manually verified connectivity by running netcat on my mac on the port I'm using, and then ssh-ing to a public server and telnetting back to that port on my mac. The connection was established, and whatever gunk I typed into the telnet session came out of netcat on my mac.
Thanks in advance for any help!
