Port Forwarding Issue

[sintar]

try this not sure if it will work

Don't use external adress "any". You need to bind it to the WAN-Adress. any is only for some special application (for example when redirectring traffic to any external adress on port x back to a proxy for example).

Hoba, do you mind walk me thru the process please?

[hoba]

Can you paste your setings for the firewallrule and the portforwarding that you created please?

Hi Hoba,

I am also encountering issues with my NAT settings.  Can you please look at the attached settings?  Thank you.

The NAT entry looks ok from the first sight. If you have an appropriate firewallrule in place that is allowing this traffic it should work. Also make sure you are at 1.0.1.

What type of rule would allow visitors from the WAN to the OPT1 net with the host using the NAT I set above?

[hoba]

Interface WAN
protocol tcp/udp
source any
destination <private ip="" of="" forwarded="" client="">port <destination port="" at="" the="" client="">gateway default</destination></private>

i have the same itentical problem, except for…

i set 2 firewall rules:

prot: * from: * port: * to: 192.168.0.40 port: * gate: *    (windows machine)
prot: * from: * port: * to: 192.168.0.200 port: * gate: *    (linux machine)

so i'll be sure that i can transfer any packets from and to any ports to these 2 machines

now, i need to open only 1 or 2 single port to forward to, so i make a nat rule like this:
if: wan prot: tcp port: 4889 nat: 192.168.0.40 (ext: 2.247.bla.bla) port: 4889  (correctly WORK!!)
if: wan prot: tcp port: 4889 nat: 192.168.0.200 (ext: 2.247.bla.bla) port: 4889  (DON'T WORK!!)

So, why nat don't like to linux port forward???

oky, the reason is that

on the linux machine i have not jet configured the proper gateway!
