Port forwarding router os 5.15 rb750

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

I bought the rb750 and am running 5.15.

I am a complete newbie and have spent hours trying to accomplish this. I know someone here can do it in five seconds. Help before I have to shoot myself.

Cable modem coming in, rb750 dhcp, and computer attached directly to it. No issues, works great.

I just want to forward my campground management software which runs on port 6010. I have tried everything, I have a setting wrong somewhere. I tried it on the forwarding and on the nat, various configs.

Can someone help please…

I have requested a consultant to help setup the hotspot, splash page, etc…This is way over my head, but I would like to at least get this simple port forwarding thing going so I can use my software until I can be rescued by a professional. Thanks

Are you trying to allow access from the internet to port 6010 on the PC? Are you using Winbox?

If the answers are yes to the above then you should add a firewall rule to the DST NAT chain. The rule should be for TCP traffic to port 6010 with the relevant WAN interface as the in interface. The action should be destination nat with the IP of the PC and the same port - 6010.

If the PC is getting its IP via DHCP you would probably want to set it to get a static IP first - do in DHCP Server.

This is what I did, where am I going wrong?

What do your firewall rules look like? Do this from a console session on the router and post the results.

/ip firewall export

Here ya go

add action=dst-nat chain=dstnat comment="this one for udp" disabled=no dst-port=6010 protocol=udp to-addresses=192.168.88.250 to-ports=6010
add action=dst-nat chain=dstnat comment="this one for tcp" disabled=no dst-port=6010 protocol=tcp to-addresses=192.168.88.250 to-ports=6010

I might be off here as I’m new at this as well but isn’t the problem that the dst address should be the public IP?

Using the webfig

Dstnat
dst address = 96.51.34.434
port 6010
protocall tcp


action

Dst-nat
address 192.168.0.1
port 6010

Try making the address type “local”

ResetJet,

Any luck so far?
I’m having the same trouble.
rb750g and 5.15

I can’t get forwarding to work either.
I keep wondering what we’re missing.

Thanks,
Donald

Okay ResetJet, good news. I think I’ve figured out where we both went wrong.

On the General tab, the dst address should be the external ip on your incoming port (aka the destination listed currently by the incoming packet).
It’s on the Action tab you specify the dstnat with the internal address you want to nat to.

I’ve attached two screen shots to show exactly what I mean.

If you haven’t already moved on or figured this out, hope that helps!
