Using and troubleshooting Back to My Mac in Mac OS X 10.5

Requirements to use Back to My Mac An AirPort Extreme or Express base station, or third-party Internet router, which supports UPnP or NAT-PMP (see here), with the latest available firmware installed (version 7.4.1 or later for AirPort). A MobileMe subscription. Two or more Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard-based Macs that are configured to use the same MobileMe account (Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later is strongly recommended). Screen sharing requires a 300-Kbps, or faster, bi-directional Internet connection (up/down) between the computers. (File sharing may be usable with slower connections)Note: Some firewalls, such as at a large organization, may not allow some Back to My Mac connections. For example, you might not be able to contact your Mac at work from home, but you might be able to contact your Mac at home from work. Check with your organization's network administrator.See this article for detailed information about security and Back to My Mac.

NAME
airport-modem - Modem monitoring and hangup utility for the original Apple AirPort Base Station ("Graphite"), the Lucent RG-1000 base sta- tion and the Apple Airport Extreme base station SYNOPSIS
airport-modem DESCRIPTION
airport-modem allows you to monitor the state of the internal modem of your base station and to start/stop the modem connection. On the AirPort Extreme base station, the modem utility can also display the approximate duration of the modem connection. OPTIONS
airport-modem accepts no command-line options. airport-modem is a wrapper script around the AirportBaseStationHangup.jar jar file located in /usr/share/java/airport-utils. You can set the JAVACMD environment variable to use a specific JVM instead of the one chosen by the wrapper script. Set the DEBUG environ- ment variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
DEBUG Set this variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script. JAVACMD The full path to the Java Virtual Machine to use. By default, the wrapper uses JAVACMD; if it is not set, it looks for JAVA_BINDIR/java, then for JAVA_HOME/bin/java before looking for a java executable in the PATH. In the latter case, the JVM used can be configured using the Debian alternatives system (see update-alternatives(8)). JAVA_HOME The full path where your JDK/JRE is installed. JAVA_BINDIR The full path to the directory where the java executable is located. JAVA_ARGS Extra command-line arguments to be passed to the Java Virtual Machine. AUTHOR
