Hello

Can somebody post a working example of port forwarding in trunk from wan to lan? I have no success with that.

Thanks.

See http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/firewal … on.natdnat .
Keep in mind that you can't test port forwardings from the lan side, use a remote machine or web service for that.

Jo:

Could you explain what the difference is between SNAT and DNAT?

I'm familiar with DNAT, but in what cases would you use SNAT?

Thanks.

Then is there a BUG in trunk. Open a port to WAN is working but not port forwarding.

Step by step what I do.

1. Open the Port 22 for ssh on the WRT54GS. I add the following code in /etc/config/firewall

config rule
        option src              wan
        option dest_port        22
        option target           ACCEPT
        option proto            tcp

Restart the firewall with:

/etc/init.d/firewall restart

Then testing the login from a machine in the «Internet» (ssh to a machine in the WAN an ssh back to my dyndns address). As a consequence no problem with dyndns and so on.
2. Forward port 80 to my webserver in the LAN. Adding the following code in /etc/config/firewall

config redirect
        option src              wan
        option src_dport        80
        option dest             lan
        option dest_ip          192.168.1.4
        option dest_port        80
        option proto            tcp

Restart the firewall and check on the machine in the «Internet» with wget:

-bash-3.2$ wget tomix.homelinux.org
--13:22:12--  http://tomix.homelinux.org/
Resolving tomix.homelinux.org... 84.72.167.47
Connecting to tomix.homelinux.org|84.72.167.47|:80... failed: Connection timed out.
Retrying.

I just get a time out. Before I used the WRT54GS not as a router and my ADSL-Router make the NAT translation and I just forward the port 80 on my ADSL-Router. Whereby I could exclude an error on the configuration of the webserver.
3. Add a section to open the port 80, as for ssh:

config rule
        option src              wan
        option dest_port        80
        option target           ACCEPT
        option proto            tcp

Still no success.

What I forget or is there really a BUG in trunk (Linux wifix 2.6.30.9 #1 Fri Nov 13 07:00:26 UTC 2009 mips GNU/Linux)?

I update to trunk, because I need a working wifi (working fine) and port forwarding. Which version can I should try?

Before I testing trunk my conclusion was:
kernel 2.4 working wifi but no port forward because of a bug
kernel 2.6 working port forward but no wifi
kernel 2.6 trunk working wifi and still working port forward

Is there somebody with a WRT54GS an trunk who can check if port forwarding work or not on his WRT54GS?

Thanks
