MN 820 Port Forwarding

I have several ports forwarded to an internal server. I
am unable to connection to these ports from my internal
network. When I connect using an external network I am
able to verify the port forwarding is working. It looks
like the Station does not support this feature. Does
anybody have any work arounds for this other than going
back to a different vendor for my internal routing?

Hi,

It sounds like you're trying to access your the internal server using your
WAN ip address.
Unfortunately the router doesn't have loopback support, so you'll have to
use your internet IP address from within your network to access the server.
So you'll have to use your 192.168.2.x ip address to connect to the server
from inside the network.

The Microsoft Broadband team hears your requests and they are working on a
new updated firmware that will address this issue.

I initially tried that and was not sucessfull due to
running multiple domains on one IP address.

What I have found that works out best but seems to be a
little cumbersome is to add the IP address to host
mappings to my hosts file. Once I added these (and
closed my browser) I was off to the track and running
like a champ!

Thanks!
