FVS318G DMZ and correct rules
Hi there, I searched through all the postings and couldn't find anything that seemed to fit my simple issue. We have a project where we need to have 3 machines in front of the FVS318G so those 3 m...
Nothing worked.
The program Shareaza communicates on port 6346. The connection test that tries to open an incoming TCP and UPD connection on 64.x.x.x:6346 fails. Windows firewall has been disabled, so it has to be the Netgear router blocking the incoming traffic.
I thought the basic definition of a DMZ was that all ports were open.
The setup screen for the ProSafe DMZ WAN Rules contains the following small text at the bottom "Inbound rules configured in the LAN WAN Rules page will take precedence over the Inbound rules configured in the DMZ WAN Rules page.".
Then the help screen for the LAN WAN rules page says "The Default Inbound Policy is to block all inbound traffic to the LAN from the Internet (WAN)".
So if the LAN WAN rules apply first, and the default inbound rule is to block everything, then how does the DMZ ever get any inbound traffic? Shouldn't the DMZ be in front of the LAN WAN rules? Is this a bug in the ProSafe implementation of the DMZ??????????
