Step Six
Enter the settings for the port forward rule. The public ports are the ports that external computers will use to connect. The Private IP Address is the IP Address of the computer in your network that you would like the public ports to forward to. The private ports are the ports on your local computer that you would like the public ports to point to. ie so an external computer could think its connecting to port 80 on your computer but the router would resolve it to a different port of your choice.

Once you have inputed the correct settings for your port forward rule, click the Continue button.

Step Seven
Enter a description for your port forward rule.

If you like you could enable Bonjour to broadcast the rule globally but we will leave this alone for now.

Click the Done button to save your new rule.

Step Eight
Now press the Update button at the bottom right hand corner to update your router with the new port forwarding rule. Please note this will reboot your AirPort Extreme Base Station!

Thank you so very much. It helped me configure my AE for VoIP. Before I could only make outbound calls.

Okay so for those who still need help: How would I allow others to see my personal web space (sites folder) from the Internet when it's behind the router and my machine tells me the sharing address is http://10.0.1.200/~user? THANKS for any step-by-step help. I think I'm close here...
