Hi Nicolas,

 

My packets are not getting lost.  I am using my dyndns hostname for quite a
few services either on Ebox or my ADSL router.  I successfully set up ssh so
that I can access the ebox server from anywhere in the world from within a
terminal, I can access the EBOX interface with the same hostname, and the
only thing that does not work is the port forwarding from EBOX to an
internal PC.

 

My firewall rules on the Netgeear router forwards all packets to the EBOX
server on the different ports, but it does not work with the redirection to
the internal PC.

 

By the way, I don't know how to do a tracert on a port number.  I know you
can do that on the IPv6 protocol, but nothing on my network is set up with
IPv6.  If there is a way, please explain as I thought of that and that will
give the best solution.

 

Thanks for all the help so far, but nothing working yet..

 

Johan

have you tried traceroute to see where your packets are getting lost?

Yes, I have, I also tried to first redirect to the other interface eth1 and
then to 200.200.200.150, but nothing..

 

It is very strange as all my other redirections works 100%.  I know how to
set it up.but this one is different.

have you created a redirection like

firewall > redirects, and then:

interface = <your external nic - connected to netgear: 192.168.0.X >
external port = 1234
protocal = tcp (maybe udp)
ip address = 200.200.200.150 (echoServer)
port = 1234

Good day,

 

I am running the latest EBOX 0.12 on a small network.  We have a capped ADSL
account with no static IP addresses with a Netgear Router.  The EBOX server
acts as a proxy server connected straight into the Netgear Router and the
other point in the switch where all the rest of the computers are linked to.
I have set up EBOX so that I can administer it via the interface and via SSH
with a dynamic dns account from dyndns.org.  This is all working.  I am
allowing all squid requests with no content filtering.  The squid's port is
set to 8080.

 

I now have a PC on the network running Echo Server - remote desktop server
(www.echogent.com <http://www.echogent.com/> ).  This program is set up to
run on port 1234.  For those who do not know how this Echo server works,
please visit the website.  It is really cool!  Anyway, once your Echo server
is running, you can test it to see if the outside world can connect to it
via InstantVNC.  Basically the client connects with InstantVNC and once they
are connected to the Echo Server, I can run a VNC program connecting to
their PC's for remote support, file transfer, etc.

 

Before the EBOX server came in place this was working fine.  Obviously I
needed to change a few things, so this is what I did.

 

1.      Netgear Router - IP 192.168.0.1

On here I have added a service for the Echo server to forward to the
external ebox IP address on port 1234.

 

2.      Ebox

On here I have created a port forwarding from eth0 wioth port 1234 to
forward the request to my PC with IP 200.200..200.150 on the same port 1234.

 

When I test the Echo server, it tells me that the connection timed out.  How
canI trouble shoot this as I have tried different ports, different firewall
rules, but nothing.

 

Please help.

 

Thanks,

Johan
