So I should enable just DHCP and not the DHCP/NAT setting?
If you can specify an IP address on any device that you will want to view from an external IP,
I will see if I can setup a custom IP on the Video PVR
Next, port mapping should generally only be done to expose a device that's inside your LAN to the outside world. As such, the port mapping should be done on the device that is the "gateway" between your external IP address and your LAN. Again, in this case, this should be your Airport device. Turn off any other device's automatic port mapping.
Does device in the case include programs? Such as airvideo and torrent programs I believe use auto port mapping. Or do you mean just hardware like the cisco that is in bridge mode I would assume can't portmap anymore.

Thanks for the reply. I have a couple more questions above in red and will try and tackle it again tonight
