Figure 20-11. Setting up port forwarding in AirPort Utility<br />

The Private IP Address field lists the IP address of the machine receiving the packets, which<br />

is to say, your web server. Enter the IP address you gave it in System Preferences. Finally, enter<br />

the port you want to receive the packets on in the Private Port Number(s) field. Click the OK<br />

button to dismiss the sheet, and then click the Update button to commit your changes. After the<br />

base station reboots, test your forwarding by accessing your web site using the outside IP<br />

address.<br />

Summary<br />

CHAPTER 20 LEOPARD NETWORKING 363<br />

From the Finder to the command line, <strong>Leopard</strong>’s built-in tools give you the power to monitor<br />

every aspect of the network. Third-party tools extend those abilities even further. Apple also<br />

includes specialized tools for dealing with AirPort networks and the specialized resource sharing<br />

they can provide.<br />

Of course, connecting to a network is only of limited use unless you can actually connect to<br />

other machines. In the next chapter, we’ll explore ways to connect your <strong>Mac</strong> to other machines,<br />

whether they’re next door or on the other side of the world.
