Port forwarding not working
Nighthawk R8300
Firmware: V1.0.2.130
I've setup port forwarding for two ports on same server. There are services listening on those ports. I can access them using my local IP and port. I've a...
Should have thought of this sooner when setting up the FiOS router (192.168.1.1) in bridge mode and the Nighthawk (192.168.1.4) as the primary router...All my devices have a static IP so they are all hard-coded to use my original router's IP for the gateway/router IP (192.168.1.1).
Everything started working once I flipped the IPs so the Nighthawk is set to 192.168.1.1.
Greetings,
Remove what you have entered.
Click +Add Custom Service instead of +Add.
Now use netstat -a to ensure the machine is listening.
Thanks

Don't. The port used at the far end is independent of the port where
the server is listening.Free advice: Enabling SSH access on external port 22 wiil almost
certainly attract frequent break-in attempts. You'd be wiser to use
some other external port for that purpose, I claim. SSH and related
commands have a "-p <port>" option for a reason.

Because "I can access them using my local IP and port" is not a
sufficient test?
My advice is to beware of free advice.
