Could also be a NAT that doesn’t support hairpinning.

Subject: [p2p-hackers] Strange Behavior...Concerning NATs

 

When two processes are running on the same machine; different port numbers, using their known global ip address, can not talk to each other, yet be able to find and communicate with all other peers.

 

Does anyone recognize the pattern and understand what might be happening?

 

thanks

Unless those DHCP-allocated addresses are from public space and end up
"covering" public addresses you might wish to reach.

As an example, using some of my address space: if you set up your NAT device
so that its public address is that which is assigned by your ISP, and have
it assign addresses from 192.135.198.0/24 on your LAN, you'll find that the
hosts on your LAN can no longer connect to my web server at 192.135.198.111,
because they believe it is "on their LAN" as opposed to "on the other side
of the NAT".

This obviously gets worse for the users if the "LAN side" address space is
significantly larger than a single /24.
