  • I've set up port forwarding on both Netgear DGN2000 router and airport extreme base station.
  • I've checked with Network Utility that the port 8888 is open.
  • Yet I don't seem to be able to make the (Wordpress) site accessible externally (according to client).
  • Also, is there a good way to check this myself from home, apart from using the browser on my phone on 3G?

Which port is MAMP listening on, and how did you forward the port on your router? Are you browsing to your public IP address or resolving a (DynDNS) hostname? – Gerry May 28 '12 at 15:36
MAMP is listening on 8888 I think, and i configured the router by adding MAMP as a service and allowed set a firewall rule to allow it. I'm browsing to a static IP address not DynDNS. – mrcottonsox May 29 '12 at 7:40
Can you see your site when browsing to 127.0.0.1:8888 ? – Gerry May 29 '12 at 11:10
No, I can't. I am completely bewildered about how to configure - router - airport base station - host machine's network settings - MAMP - wordpress general settings. – mrcottonsox May 29 '12 at 12:32
Then MAMP is not listening on port 8888. Check your config. – Gerry May 29 '12 at 12:42
