Port Forwarding with FVS336G Dual Firewall
I have the FVS336Gv2 Dual Firewall and I am trying to set up basic port forwarding to allow access to our web server from the other side of the wall (ie through the Internet). Once I can get access to...
I have set the Translate to Port Number to all 3 possibilities:
Set to 7777
Set to 80
Turned off
None of these changes anything and they still do not work.
I do not want to use the HTTP service as that only covers one web site. I have several and they each need a specific port. Once this works.
To give a working example: if I was using a standard NetGear router I would select Port Forwarding, create a service name, set the start port and end port to be one value and set the server IP address as the local LAN IP address of the machine to forward to. Then from the Internet I would use http://externalip:XXXX where XXXX is the port number. This has always worked for our IP cameras and our various web sites without my having to change the internal port value on the internal web server or on the IP cameras...
PS: I am not trying to PING anything here. This is TCP access through web browsers.
I'm sure I'm missing something here as it should not be this complicated. That's why I provided concrete examples. This has worked for me on every Netgear router for years... up to this one.
