Port forwarding Nighthawk m2

Hello,

 

I am having a problem with an Nighthawk RM2100.

Port forwarding to a server does not work (my server ip: 192.168.3.254, subnet of my network : 192.168.3.0/24). I tried to redirect three ports to this server but in vain ... I saw in the summary that this router has a IPV4 like 10.64.... but I cannot change this in the settings and I think it's the problem.

 

Does anyone have an idea or had the same problem and what is the solution? The DMZ mode does not correct the problem too ... I have install the latest Firmwire today for information.

 

Thank you in advance for your help.
Cordially.

       Not a very detailed description of your "a server", your
    port-forwarding rules, how you tried to access your "a server" (or from
    where), or the actual error message which you got when the attempt
    failed.

       "the summary"?  That's the IP[v4] address of its WAN/Internet
    interface?

     

       Plug that address into the form at: https://whois.arin.net/ , and see
    if it's a public address or a private address.  (There's no need to hide
    any of a private address.)

       Your ISP determines it.


    > [...] and I think it's the problem.

     

       I agree.  For the usual problems with port forwarding, see:

       Concentrate on "1".

     

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT

     

       You can't reach your router at a private address from the outside
    world.

       Specifying a DMZ server dos not change the router's WAN/Internet IP
    address.

     

    > [...] I have install the latest Firmwire today for information.


       As always, an actual version number would be more useful than your
    opinion of what's "latest" today.  But you have an ISP problem, not a
    router firmware problem.
