Web Publishing Service on Zuxel NAS326 and Port Forwarding on Netgear Router
Hello, I am on uncharted waters - I only know how to setup wireless: set password, naming the flag and enable encryption. I have no experince in Port Forwarding and what it does. According to Zyx...
Hello Antinode,
I just want to thank you for all your help - It has been most pleasant and a great leaner for me.
Best regards Lars
Hello, ...and thanks for the answer; Antinode, which open up some core issues:
You mention that the IP which my router receives from my ISP should be static and I have a suspision that is not the case !! In general, I check ip with IPCONFIG in CMD. If I unplug the router and plug in a PC on the wall it gets nearly the same ip (except for one digit) as what the router gets. Similarly another PC get another ip, 2 digits away from the router ip which tells me they are all assigned dynamically. The final straw is; if I try to ping the router IP address from a PC which connects to the internet over the mobilenetwork; USB-modem, it states; 'reply from 10.117.15.173: Distination net unreachable' ......Which I interpret; the router do not get a real external IP addresse and it matches the fact that my ISP advertise on their website that I can buy a fixed IP address for a minor one time payment.
Antinode, am I on the right path, you think ?

If your R7800 does show the same RFC1918 address on the Advanced -> Internet port IP address information, this is correct.
Yes, the address is 10.168.50.157 in the router > Basic > Internet > Interet setup > internet ip address. I get 10.168.50.156 to a pc connected to the wall plug and another pc gets ip: 10.168.50.158
If I ping 10.168.50.157 from a usb-modem connected PC i get the message: 'reply from 10.117.15.173: Distination net unreachable'
An externet real static public ip for the router should be pingable I suppose !
So I should buy myself a static ip address from my ISP ?

"10.a.b.c" is a non-routable, private address.

world, then a public IP address would be helpful. A fixed, public IP
address would be even more helpful.> An externet real static public ip for the router should be pingable I

Sounds right to me.Thanks for the hint !! The 'Respond to Ping on Internet Port.' was not enabled. It is now for testing when I get the public IP from my ISP.
As it is now my NAS is on the router and gets an ip: 192.168.1.6
When I get a public fixed IP for the router would I be able to do the following setup: Connect a switch to the wall plug and connect the router to one switch port and the NAS to another switch port. Configuring the connection path in the NAS to that static IP plus service port no. 5000 and so on, before I do the switch setup! Leaving the router to get the same IP as the NAS ! Would that not be more safe for the rest of the network (LAN) ? I will have to put the NAS back on the LAN each time for login if I want to make changes in it and I will not have the usual LAN advantages; data backup and so forth ! ..... but will it work as an independant server other than that ? Or am I just making things complicated for myself !!
