Telkom Mega 100WR Port Forwarding

[grimstoner]

Hi

I'm trying to setup port forwarding on my Mega 100WR... I've added my rule in the web interface (forward port 1234 to port 80), and assigned it to the client I want (192.168.1.5) in my LAN group.

When I access my WAN IP (which I've setup a DynDNS for), I get the router login page. When I try to access the port I've opened (i.e. www.mydns.com:1234), I get an error :

In IE8, its "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"
In Chrome, its "This webpage is not available.", and when I opened the "more info", it shows this error : "Error 102 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED): Unknown error."

I can access the site on my internal network, using the computer's internal IP address or hostname.

On the router system log, after I've setup the port forwarding rules, these messages are displayed :

2009:11:27:13:46 -t nat -D PREROUTING -i ppp0 -d! my.wan.ip -j DNAT --to 0.0.0.0
2009:11:27:13:46 -t nat -D PREROUTING -i ppp0 -d my.wan.ip -j DNAT --to my.web.servers.ip
2009:11:27:13:46 -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -d! my.wan.ip -j DNAT --to 0.0.0.0
2009:11:27:13:46 -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -d my.wan.ip -j DNAT --to my.web.servers.ip

(I've replaced the IPs).

I've also added my web server's ip to the DMZ, and disabled the firewall on my WAN connection. Neither had any effect.

Am I doing something wrong?

I dont know much about web servers but the last time that I set one (just to play around with the idea) I had to change something to do about bindings in order for the pc to accept connection coming from the internet and not just from the local network.

I'm probably way off though

Have you enabled remote administration on the router?

"Have you enabled remote administration on the router?"

Is that the "Web Access" settings? If so, it is enabled, set to my WAN connection, with these settings :

• Remote Host : 0.0.0.0
• Remote NetMask: 255.255.255.255
• Redirect Port : 8080

The web server is setup by a Wizard (oh btw... the web server is running on Windows Home Server with PP3), which I presume would setup everything like that.

EDIT: I've had a look at the IIS setup... everything checks out. Unless there is some obscure setting that I don't know about.

few things to check, Is the site www.mydns.com:1234 setup to run on 1234. the default is 80, but you do need to set 1234 on the webserver too.

Is the firewall on the webserver open on port 1234 for external and internal.

But surely, if I route port 1234 on the router to port 80 on the web server, the web server only needs to listen on port 80?
