Ok, with some IP conflict stuff (mostly) resolved, back to getting the system "where it was" with our old Cisco router... was connected to our ISY as well as a separately controlled IP camera.

From a technical and security stand point if you require access remotely to a network a VPN connection is the preferred method. If you wish to open a port in the router to access the same that is a compromise and is fine.

Honestly, for ISY, it is better to just get a Portal subscription. Is there some reason you'd rather not? With a Portal subscription, you can just skip all this nonsense, though it won't help with your camera.

Lets keep this simple so you can get up and running with out too much hassle.

One thing that will be useful will be to know what addresses your router is using for DHCP.

And, alas, the page I linked to above seems WRONG to me, but perhaps AE works differently than most routers. Normally, you need to make reservations OUTSIDE of the DHCP pool. But that tutorial shows using an address from within the pool. Maybe AE "works different".

The Airport is likely using 192.168.1.x. I've got one, it works fine. Kinda sucks they've stripped out some useful power features lately, but it does what most people need. I've got port 80 and 443 directed to my Pi server.

I got the Amazon Basics cat6 to make patch cables. Cut the thing open with my tool and was surprised to find that there are only solid colors, multiples of which are solid white.

Can I connect to external IP from internal network?
Thanks for the input Behman. To be able to connect to the external IP from a device on the internal network your router would need to support "NAT loopback". More details about what you saw can be found in this wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_a ... T_loopback
Does airport extreme have automatic port opening?
KStevens - The airport extreme does not support automatic port opening, so you will need to do this yourself. As far as testing, SIghthound does not interact with routers other than if it attempts to open the port. It simply sees incoming traffic when your computer delivers it, so while we haven't tested with all routers it isn't necessary.

My pleasure! If you change your mind about MobileMe let me know, I have a family pack and have 2 or 3 accounts open. Wouldn't mind at all giving you one. Same as the original, but you only get 5gbs of storage instead of 20.
thefarewellnote
Hey if you still are willing to give one of these accounts away I would be very grateful I am in need of one.
