A customer wishes to use x10 video software on his computer to monitor a remote location.
Mikrotik unit pulls a pppoe ip address, and uses src-nat and while web surfing is fine he can't access the remote computer. Doing a test from the x10 site http://kbase.x10.com/wiki/Port_Forwardi ... 0_Software it fails to connect. (you have to use IE browser btw)
So the wireless pppoe gets a public ip address and on the ethernet port which is dhcp address on his computer which is a range of 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200
I did some reading about dst-nat thinking perhaps that is what I needed to do but all I ended up doing was locking myself out of the unit several times.
Thoughts?
Re: Accessing ports behind nat
Guess I need to ask in a different way or explain more.
The mikrotik unit pulls a routable ip address and has a 192.168.1.0/24 setup on the ethernet port. I setup src-nat and masqurade.
A computer that gets a dhcp address in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet wants to access a x10 camera placed at his home. I run the test above and it says it will not connect. Now if I hook up a linksys unit and do the same thing it works fine. So there is got to be a setting in mikrotik that would allow me to fix this issue.
The x10 camera uses many ports (about eight if I remember correctly)

Re: Accessing ports behind nat
I was able to get this to work by setting up dst-nat
Add rule
Under General
select chain dst-nat
in interface pppoe-out
Under Action
Select dst-nat
To Address 192.168.1.2
to ports 0-65535
And set the computer to a static address 192.168.1.2
----------------
Is there anyway to allow the computer to stay on the dhcp server with dynamic address? I tried the to address with 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.200 but that didn't work for me.
