Hairpin with port forwarding

Hello,

My scenario is as follows:

On the microtik I have a /IP/Filewall/NAT script to route everything that comes in on port 5522 to a particular IP on port 22. This is working as expected.

I have a laptop that needs to access this service both from within the network as well as when it it outside. My problem is that when I specify the LAN IP address (192.168.88.x) this fails when on the outside and when I specify the WAN (Fixed) IP I am having problems when connected to the local LAN.

I am thinking of using Hairpin but am not sure how to do this to have flexibility.

Thank you for any help.
