7800N - Attempting to host Servers internally using WAN IP

Post by blop001 »

Hi All,

I would really appreciate some assistance with getting this setup to work 8-)

I have a 7800N upgraded to 1.06h.dt2 as a PPPoE dialler, Firewall etc connected to a BT modem for Zen fibre.I have recently bought a block of Public IP addresses to use so I may be able to host servers internally.

The problem I have now is actually getting this to work. :D

From the reading I have done I have used the 'Virtual Server > One to One NAT' feature to Add all 5 usable external IP addresses from my range to the EWAN interface.

Then I selected 'One to One NAT Table' and assoiciated one of the 'Global IP Addresses' with an internal IP address - which happens to be my internal server.

Now my expectation is that any traffic to that IP will be immediatley forwarded to that internal server - but what is actually happening is that if i put one of Global IP addresses into the browser i get the Router Admin page. I am a bit confused. :roll:

I have uploaded some pics to show my config:

-One-to-One NAT

What is the WAN IP address of the router?
