I just switched from a cable modem to ATT UVerse and I'm trying to figure out how to setup my network to get Back to My Mac working.

The UVerse router doesn't do UPnP which is required for Back to My Mac, so I plugged my Airport Extreme into it and assigned it a local IP (192.168.1.100). I have the AE assign my computer IPs through DHCP. I forwarded the UDP port 4500 (the Back to My Mac port) on the UVerse router to the AE and turned NAT forwarding ON on the AE.

Will this work? Or will my macs not provide the .mac server with the appropriate outside IP to be found on the internet since they are basically behind two routers?

I haven't even got it to work with a uPNP router, so good luck!
