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 the web server to work I'll apply the same rules for IP cameras and other devices. I've never had a problem doing this through other NetGear routers and firewalls. But I can't get this to work on this one.
I have created the new Service as type TCP, from port 7777 to port 7777 and called it Web-Home (names and port numbers are ficticious) with QoS Priority set to Normal-Service
I created the Inbound Service in the Firewall section for this specific service with ALLOW always as the action, Send to LAN Server - Single Address with the internal LAN IP address at 192.168.0.253 and translate to port number as 80 with WAN Destination IP Address as WAN2 and Bandwidth Profile as NONE.
Obviously I can reach our web server from any browser on our side of the LAN at http://192.168.0.253:80 but from the Internet, using our fixed IP address, it never reaches anything.
I've been looking at this too many times and I'm obviously missing something obvious. But I'm stuck.
Thanks.

Each unique incoming port corresponds to a unique local IP address.jmizoguchi wrote: You are trying basically

As I've said I'm trying basically:
PublicIP:7000 --> Lan 0.253:80
PublicIP:7001 --> Lan 0.252:80
PublicIP:7002 --> Lan 0.251:80
PublicIP:7003 --> Lan 0.250:80
Each incoming port is forwarded to a unique internal LAN IP address- Seems like a moot question but, what kind of server is it? (Server 03, 08, Linux?) Is there a software firewall blocking external connections.
