port forwarding on FVS336gv3
I migrated from a sonicwall to Netgear FVS336Gv3, I´m configuring port fordwarding to permit RDP (in a special port 3839) and NAS (8080). I created a Service for each port, then created a service ...
- Jun 30, 2016Have you checked the network settings of the client? Check especially default gateway but also things like firewall. An incorrect set default gateway = works locally but not from Internet.
You can also run wireshark on the client to make sure traffic hits it. The log indicates that the message is being forwarded, the fact that port testers show it as offline means that nothing responds on that port. Which is likely to be an issue on the client rather than he firewall. Packet captures would be able to prove this; do a LAN packet capture on the fvs336gv3 from the diagnostics page, if you see the traffic go out the LAN but nothing coming back the issue is with the client or something in between.

Hello,
I test the server, I can view that the default gateway in the server was wrong, becouse it was pointing to the old firewall (sonicwall).
So the problem was that the conection arrived to the server, but it can´t return. I changed and now it works fine.
Thank you very much for your help.
