Hi all,
I am very new to all this router settings and read up a lot before writing this, found a couple of things already which I added but stuck now and wondered if some more experienced people could perhaps show me the way out of my problem
I have a wireless router connected to 8-port switch which is connected to 4 pc's. all is fine with my network. I use winbox to log into my router.
I have a current setting on the router as follows for the masquerade .....
/ip firewall nat add chain=srcnat src-address=192.168.1.0/24 out-interface=pppoe-out1
action=masquerade
my PC's internal IP is 192.168.1.16 and the router is 192.168.1.1
so far NO ports are open except the standard ports (25, 110, etc) and this is where the problems come in .... I would like to open ONE port for incoming connections on my router. I would like nothing to stop this port as I need it for use of a program. It doesn't matter what port it is because I can set the program to use which ever port. For example I would like to open port 5005 for incoming connections to my PC. My firewall on my PC already has the exception in it for port 5005 but now I need to make port 5005 totally open on my router and I am not sure exactly where I should add and what I should add and how I should add it. Should it be before the masquerade or after the masquerade as I read it matters sometimes where the stuff is in the list of Mikrotik RouterOS.
Thanx so long for any help you guys can give me. should you need to know anything more specific please feel free to ask and I will try to find out whatever you need in order to help me.
Regards,
Z
