FVS338 Not Forwarding Packets

FVS338 Port Forwarding Failure

Hi,

Posted this query on another forum, but it's been suggested that I post it here. A port forwarding problem, started with an FVS318, now an FVS338, neither of which foreward traffic from wan to lan host.

 

Using an  FVS338, older model, but latest firmware from 2013 and reset defaults to start.

 

Setup is as follows:

 

Mode: Nat, not router
DHCP: Disabled
Routing: No entries

 

External Wan ip: 192.9.200.252
Gw: 192.9.200.254
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Dns: 208.67.220.220, 208.67.222.222

 

Internal Lan Ip: 10.10.10.250

Telnet host is at: 10.10.10.150

Telnet client is at: 192.9.200.214

Start by trying something simple, telnet from wan to a lan host, so set up a rule
as follows:

 

Default Outbound Policy: Allow Always
No added rules

 

Inbound Services
Service Name Filter LAN Server IP Address LAN Users WAN Users Destination Bandwidth Profile Log
TELNET Allow Always 10.10.10.150 ANY WAN1 NONE Always

Result log is:

[kernel] LOG_PACKET[DROP] IN=WAN OUT=LAN src=192.9.200.214 DST=10.10.10.150 PROTO=TCP SPT=36372 DPT=23

 

Outgoing pings from lan to wan host and ntp time update works fine, so the

network is ok.

 

I'm just trying to link 2 subnets for added security, no need for speed, so this unit should be fine as proof of concept. Just followed the instructions in the manual but doesn't work and the log files don't say much as to the cause. Did try pointing zenmap at the wan port, which says telnet, 23 is open, but the box is dropping the packets, not forwarding them to the lan side client. I know this is an older unit, but it should still work as per the manual...

Have setup and using pfsense, opnsense and other open source firewalls for years now and do embedded development for work, so this should be a 1/2 hour setup, right ?. Have used Netgear routers for years without a problem, as a simple outgoing nat router, but did port forwarding ever work on Netgear kit, or is there someting obvious i'm missing ?...

Regards,

Chris
