FVS338 Not Forwarding Packets
FVS338 Port Forwarding Failure
Hi,
Posted this query on another forum, but it's been suggested that I post it here. A port forwarding problem, started with an FVS318, now an FVS338, neither o...
Is the FVS338 router is behind to another router link as modem/router combo? If yes, this might cause a Double NAT setup.
Hi,
Thanks. The 338 wan side is on a secure subnet behind a hardware firewall, an experimental setup to show port forwarding works, before installing eleswhere. Overall data flow is:
Isp <-> hw firewall @192.9.200.254 <-> (338 wan side port @192.9.200.252 338 lan side port 10.10.10.250) <-> Lan host 10.10.10.150
Have remote management enabled initally, so I can login to the 338 from wan or lan side. Have tried the following:
- ping to wan host 192.9.200.254 from 338 diagnostics, works, so wan host ok
- ping to lan host 10.10.10.150 from 338 diagnostics, works, so lan host ok
- traceroute to google.com from 338 diagnostics, works, so dns handling ok
- 338 internal ntp client, sets time, works
So, it looks like the lan and wan networks and basic functions are up and ok.
Have just one incoming rule defined, telnet from anywhere on wan -> lan host 10.10.10.15, but drops packets.
Including a few screen shots as requested in a pm earlier...

Bump, or is there a solution to this problem ?. Have tried everything I can, but if Netgear can't solve it., then I guess nobody can....

Set up a static route on router2 helps your packet route to router1.
Hi,
Thanks. Have already setup the default route for the wan side, so why should I need an added route for a port forwarding setup, when there i no mention f that in the manual ?. The current setup and data flow is:
router1 @ 192.9.200.254 <> FVS338 router 2 @192.9.200.251 < port forward to > 10.10.10.150
Check out the upthread screenshots for correct setup, but can't see anyting out of order. Fact is, it doesn't work as per the manual.
No more time to spend on this now, so will use opnsense on an old alix box, which should get the job done and already in use elsewhere on the network. Just like these old 318 and 338 routers. Compact and usually fit and forget once setup...
