Cant Open Ports

Fri Jun 18, 2021 11:00 am

Hi guys. I seem to have a problem with opening ports on this particular RB750Gr3, Firmware 6.48.3. I have 4 NAT Rules Configured the same way, just different Ports. (See attached Pictures). I have no Firewall Rules Configured.
But when I run for a Port Scan on nmap, it shows all these 4 Ports as closed and no traffic is flowing through them as well. I have another RB750Gr3 configured exactly the same way and it's working 100%. But this one is just refusing. I've even Reset it a few times, but still no joy...

What could be the problem? Please help

Thank You

First verify that internal server is actually accepting connections on TCP port 25.

Then you can enable LOG flag, try remote connection and see if log contains anything.
One thing you should be aware: some ISPs block port 25 (SMTP) towards clients because SMTP protocol is often used for malicious activities (spamming, phishing, you name it).

Ive just tested Remote Access on Port 3389. Also cant get through. I've attached a copy of the Log Report from the Mikrotik. I've also checked with my ISP, none of my ports are blocked by the them. This system was working fine all along until Saturday when my Zyxel Router died from a Power Surge. I then moved to this Mikrotik and I've been struggling to get it to work since.

Can you please share your configuration?
/export hide-sensitive file=anynameyoulike
I have no Firewall Rules Configured.
Hopefully you mean no additional rules?

Why are you using nmap to test .88.1 when you are trying to NAT to .88.3?
Post configuration exports, not stupid massive screenshots.
Your blobbing of the dest. address is also pointless, as it is there for all to see, twice, in the screenshots.

This is my current config. Ive done this config a thousand times in the past with no issues, but right now its not working. I've tried 3 different Routers, no joy!

Is this the "full" config, i.e. there is no Firewall Filter rules?

If not full config and there are firewall filter rules, then make sure you have a rule that allows Destination NAT

Yeah no firewall rules and connected to the internet........ just plain dumb if thats the case, will assume you are just using it in a lab.

As for Ive done this configuration 1000 times doesnt mean you have clue

Take this for example.
/interface list member
add interface=ether1 list=WAN
add list=LAN

Okay brainiac what does that do?? No I am curious really

It does not help. Really. No matter how many spells you cast on that sentence.

Thats why you are here Bartoz......... I am not the patient llama unless the person provides a decent networking diagram, has shown the config, and has zero arrogance.........
Besides, in general I dont help folks who want to access their router from the internet over www and likewise I dont help people that refuse to use firewalls (in general unless of course people have edge routers or other circumstances where its acceptable). Or folks clearly trying to circumvent company rules etc etc......
