i will read that, thanks!

one would think the AEBS would work without any trouble, but i was monkeying with the settings trying to do this via Wide area bonjour so i may have buggered stuff up...:eek:

Having the same problems...I think the macs are not being published by Bonjour..I am wondering if it is an ISP thing....inside..everything works wonderfully...:) outside not so much...

Have you tried since updating to 10.5.2? I think the update fixed some issues with this.

Yes , I have 10.5.2 all the way around , still scratching my head, I have tried resetting the modem this morning and will try to connect again. I have tried using the command K to mannually log in..but that doesnt work either...this is what leads me to believe the address isnt being published...this feature will be awesome if I can just get it to work !

I have the same issues as MDG - works GREAT in my house on my local network, I can screen share and file share until the cows come home - MacBook sees iMac sees MacMini. As soon as I leave the house however and log onto a different network, I can no longer see my iMac or MacMini.

I am running 10.5.2 on all machines, all are relatively new machines (intel Core 2 Duo). I have enabled "Back to my Mac" under .Mac system preferences and have enabled "file sharing" and "screen sharing" under the "Sharing" system preferences. I have "Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol" checked under "airport utility". I am a .Mac subscriber... I just don't know why it won't work. It has never worked for me outside of my home.

Has Anyone got Back to my Mac working?


Here is my network:
I have:
1 Cable Modem (Rogers)
1 Airport Extreme in office (Gigabit version 802.11n)
1 Airport Extreme in living room (Gigabit version 802.11n)
[Airport extremes in WDS configuration to bring 802.11n speed to MacMini]
1 Airport Express (802.11g) [wired to Airport Extreme in Office]

1 MacBook 802.11n
1 Dell Laptop 802.11g (to Airport Express)
1 iMac (wired to first Airport Extreme in office)
1 MacMini (wired to second Airport Extreme)
1 Xbox 360 (wired to second Airport Extreme in living room)
1 Wii 802.11g to Airport Express)



Cheers!

p.s. - please - no one try to convince me to lay an ethernet cable from the office to the living room. This is not an option.
