How to configure FVS318N to transmit NAT'ed LAN IP in FTP tranfers in stead of Firewalls WAN-IP.
I'm having this problem. Remote site is connected to the internet in a fixet, multiple IP-adress MPLS setup. The LAN side is presently protected by a Zyxel Zywall, but for a variety of reasons I...
Hi Samir
Apologies for my delayed response.
I'll try to test the setup you are suggesting the next time I'm at the location, but since it's in east Greenland there are no planned trips - I only go there when absolutely necessary.
I will need to close my post here for now, and I'd like to thank all of you for your help.
When I initially opened the case I thought I had just missed to set a checkmark somewhere, and that I could sort of just "copy-paste" the rules etc. from the Zyxel to the netgear.
Cheers
No, in this case, it's actually two routers with the netgear being the last router in the chain. But as far as ftp is concerned, all the routers should route the packets correctly. This is how the whole Internet works.
If you want someone from the outside to be able to connect to the computer connected to the netgear lan, then yes, you might need some rules. But let's tackle that after we figure out why a completely normal ftp transfer is acting funny.
I hear you on the voluntary aid. Well, here's what I would do the next time you are able to get there:
- Factory default the Netgear by holding down the reset. You can do this after printing out or noting down the current configuration.
- Connect the wan of the netgear to the lan of the zyxel
- Connect the lan of the netgear to the computer.
In effect this will put the netgear in between the computer and the zyxel.
- Try your ftp again. It should work.
- Replace the Zyxel with the Netgear and try the ftp test again. It should work now too.
- Enable remote configuration on the netgear, but don't set up any rules or static routes yet.
- Post here with what you'd like to block/not block and we'll set up the rules via the remote configuration.

All good. It's amazing how far and wide these devices allow our networks to reach.
No problem, just come back to this thread and update the results--even if it's years in advance. That's the benefit of a forum--the knowledge builds with every passing day.
Yeah, the Zyxel and Netgear interfaces are totally different. I recently set up a watchguard and that's totally different too. You'd think that products that work together would at least have similar names for things in their interfaces, lol.

Right - sort of "We (whatever manufacturer) are strong supporters of standards - that's why we've made our own" :smileylol:
Hahaha! Good one!
