Topic: simple port forward

The content of this topic has been archived on 30 Mar 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hello,
I dont understand why my simple port forwarding is not working. I have a Asus 500gp which gets a public IP on its wan iface. My private network is 192.168.2.0/24 and I want to forward the 2099 port to the 192.168.2.2 host.

My firewall rule is

forward:proto=tcp dport=2099:192.168.2.2

But the port 2099 appears as stealth from the internet. I dont use any software firewall on my PC.  I thought that maybe I have to "accept" the conection but this doesn't work either:

accept:proto=tcp dport=2099
forward:proto=tcp dport=2099:192.168.2.2

Any ideas ? thanks,

Tex.

See Port forwarding stops working after a while.

Kamikaze 7.09 bcm2.4 was so unstable on my Asus WL-500gP that I went back to White Russian 0.9.

sad sad I cant believe it.  This is exaclty my problem. I will try to compile kamikaze from the lastest svn to see if it helps.

I hesitated so long time before buying the 500gp ...
