Hello,
I am a beginer with this router OS, I have a “box” with four ethernet ports and router OS system ver. 2.8
I have configured one eth port with IP, enabled this port. In firewall there is a rule to accept everything from anywhere. From local network there is no problem to connect through ssh or WWW for administration. When I try this from somewhere else (home….), I cannot connect, ping, nothing …
Am I doing some stupid simple mistake?
Thank you
Ivan
do you have a valid public IP address on the public interface of the router?
I think so, I have another device in the same area with similar address and it is working fine. When I try to connect from remote location, I can see in router OS log, that it is trying to connect, but it is not sucessful.
This is nmap info (first part of IP was changed):
linux:~ # ssh xxx.xxx.204.247
linux:~ # nmap xxx.xxx.204.247
Starting nmap 3.81 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-01-11 11:54 CET
Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -P0 Nmap finished: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 2.118 seconds linux:~ # nmap xxx.xxx.204.247 -P0
Starting nmap 3.81 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-01-11 11:54 CET All 1663 scanned ports on xxx.xxx.204.247 are: filtered
Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 336.491 seconds linux:~ # ssh xxx.xxx.204.247
ssh: connect to host xxx.xxx.204.247 port 22: Connection timed out
try telnet and winbox also. what about www, what does the browser say?
It is the same, I will not receive connection on 80 and 23, I cannot see first screen with Winbox and other options.
Ohhh, I found it, I forgot to set up default gateway for routing!!!
