I know, I know, you have heard it a thousand times over here.....'I can't connect to my apex from outside my home network'.....well.....that is my issue. So any help you can provide will be helpful.
First things first.....I had a person experienced in networking to help me setup my apex. He got it up and running on my home network in a matter of minutes. It has worked flawlessly. However, he had a hell of a time trying to get it recognized outside of my home network. After a few hours of working he finally gave up and essentially blamed all his troubles on his inability to access the settings of my mediacom cable modem.
Since I am a bonehead when it comes to networking, I have not pursued the issue any further. I have read every thread in this forum and I have specifically paid close attention to all the apple related posts, since I am a 'mac guy'. So that is where I am at.
The specifics
1. Apex Heavy
2. iMac
3. Airport base station (at least 6+ years old)
4. Linksys Splitter...(it attaches to my base station and provides 4 ethernet outlets...my apex is hard wired to this device)
5. Mediacom Cable Modem RCA DCM45
Questions:
1. Has anyone had any success connecting from outside your home network with this combination of devices?
2. Has anyone had any success accessing the settings of this Mediacom modem?
3. Is there anyone out there that can help me? I would be willing to kick a $25 gift certificate to the fish store of your choice if you can get me connected.....
