I don't have mac instructions for netgear. But, you can hopefully make sense out of the following instructions.

Most important thing to do is set up a static ip.
The steps:

1. Set up a static ip. (for mac you may need to see the tips in this thread HERE pages 2 & 3. (else see THIS)

2. Forward port 6346, instructions here: http://www.portforward.com/netgear/RP614v3.htm

3. Within LW: Manual port forward instructions & sample image & 2 posts after that.

BTW there is also a Netgear forum / HERE & this is direct from the Netgear support site - Port Forwarding Netgear Routers (click on link)
