I am first confused by the IP addresses that are being reported. The configuration page for the mobile router reports a 10.126.XXX.XXX address. When I run an IP check the address that is returned is 107.77.XXX.XXX. When I ping my specifc address from the dynamic DNS it reports a third address 107.77.XXX.XXX (first and second set of XXX are different). I am not certain why these are all different but I think it has something to do with ATT wireless network (I have read about double NAT).
Hi jbowlingknoxNG,
Reading your statement above it tells me that your WAN IP address is NAT'd and not a public WAN IP. Telstra in Australia do the same with their standard APN for mobile broadband. It is firewalled for security reasons and I assume ATT are doing the same. I know with Telstra we can call them up and ask for an APN to be provisioned on the SIM card which in fact assigns you a public WAN IP that works fine with Port Forwarding. I suggest contacting ATT and asking to speak with a manager who maybe able to advise if ATT have an APN which assigns a public WAN IP.
Kind Regards,
