Greetings All,
Sorry guys! As I’m New to these forums I posted this post in the wrong Forum! It should have been posted the Beginner Basics Forum, which I just did!
Although I’m still a quite the newbie on Mikrotik’s RouterOS, I finally managed to get most of my issues resolved successfully except for one!!
My past DIY experience has never presented me with this type of problem, I just don’t know enough about RouterOS to diagnose and fix the following issue.
Background:
I have two running web/server apps. Each with its own internal port# and a different Dst.Port# (from the WAN side).
I can access each web/server app from the WAN side using a “https://example.com:port#” without any issues at all.
I have everything running perfectly on my Linksys E4200 with AdvancedTomato installed, but I want to retire the Linksys and replace it with my new Mikrotik.
My issue:
Behind the Mikrotik router, and on the same LAN as the web/server apps, I have client apps on different machines that access these web/server apps using the same FQDN using wss protocol (wss://example.com:port#), but the web/server apps do not see any client apps running on any of my local machines! FYI… everything else works on my LAN!
And probably for the same reason, the following doesn’t work either … If I enter https://example.com:port# in a browser (on the LAN side) accessing a web/server app on the same LAN, I get back “This site can’t be reached” and “example.com refused to connect.”
After reading the manual and googling around, I tried several suggested solutions, but nothing worked.
Is it a firewall issue, is it a NAT issue, is it a Mikrotik’s DNS misconfiguration … I just don’t know!
I’m pretty sure this is a rookie problem, but I am too much of a newbie on RouterOS for this last piece. Can someone help me out?
Thanks
