    Hi. I know that problems with MobileMe are far from unusual, but I can't find any other examples of this one.

    On my Macbook Pro I had some trouble setting up Back to My Mac because it took me ages to figure out how to set my router up for NAT sharing. I eventually managed it and was able to turn on Back to My Mac.

    Now, with exactly the same settings and router, my Macbook Air tells me I can't turn on Back to My Mac because my router 'doesnt support NAT port mapping'. This is the error message I used to have on my MBP but which is know fixed, despite both machines having exactly the same settings

    Any ideas?
