Hi Guys
I've searched many threads on port forwarding, but this one still has me very confused.
MT router has WAN interface with public IP P.P.P.P (ppoe connection to aDSL modem in bridge mode)
LAN has L.L.L.L/24, with a DHCP range of L.L.L.100 - L.L.L.150
A static IP address is allocated to a machine at L.L.L.10, this machine connects to a remote service on the internet using port 5545.
I have a universal "masquerade" rule in NAT that allows local devices to connect to the WAN/Internet, and this works fine. I have set a rule in NAT to allow the outside service to connect to L.L.L.10 via port 5545:
chain=dstnat action=dst-nat to-addresses=L.L.L.10 to-ports=5545 protocol=tcp dst-address=P.P.P.P dst-port=5545
I can see traffic coming in from the remote server (using Torch) but the responses from the local device get lost somewhere. When I use the MT packet sniffer, I see the response packets from the local device, but they do not make it to the WAN interface for some reason.
What am I not seeing here??
Thanks
