Port forwarding on Conexant 4 port adsl router

I've been playing for hours and I can't get port forwarding to work on my
Conexant (Dabs value) 4 port adsl modem/router.

The documentation I've read implies it works and with the latest firmware
version from Amigo's web site (CA6XR-GN.0924.00T)
the gui has all the right controls to set it up. I've mapped the ports on
the Virtual Server page to the local IP address.

I'm trying to enable web and telnet traffic into a local Unix server. From
the LAN I'm able to access both services OK, but if I use the public WAN
address it appears that the router is not forwarding the traffic onto the
LAN.

Has anyone with this router managed to get port forwarding to work?

Thanks,

Graham.

You know you won't be able to access your lan via the internet from
behind your router unless you use a proxy server , or alternatively use
a dial-up modem.

Does SGI and REX mean anything?

Wow, they certainly do. I've left the router with virtual server turned off
and dmz pointing at the internal server.

I'm a bit new to this advanced networking stuff. Any pointers to setting up
the proxy server you mentioned? You've obviously managed to get into my
router externally - how did you do this? telnet? ftp?

Turn off all the servers in the Misc Configuration menu and save the
settings. Change your admin passwords as well.

Hi Graham

If its the same as the origo you will need to do a power down /up
after saving/rebooting, to check it use http://www.guardster.com/ to
check its working. I had a similar trouble till I did the above.

I just typed http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn into my browser bar - I got the
address from the headers on your post. I think you've got the port
forwarding working ok, but you need to use a proxy to be able to test it
from your network - to be able to go out on the internet and back again.
Someone else mentioned http://www.guardster.com/ or you could use a
different account (like I did).

I have!

See this site for setup info if you haven't already:
http://www.cazart.plus.com/conexant/

Having done the setup, I got the port forwarding to work via the Virtual
Server page of the config. The only thing I need port forwarding for is so
that DCC will work on IRC. And it does, after I put the correct ports onto
the Virtual Server page.

Hope that helps......

Giles : I¹m so very sorry. My contrition completely dwarfs the impending
apocalypse.

So...
How is port forwarding set on the Virtual Server page?

Here is my guess, (but I'd appreciate confirmation before I destroy my
connection!).

ID Public Port Private Port Port Type Host IP Address
1 6881 6881 TCP 10.0.0.8
2 6882 6882 TCP 10.0.0.8
etc.

Is this anywhere close to being right?

Any help most gratefully received.

Dunno what you are trying to do, but it is probably right. Just
remember that you have to save the changes which reboots the router so
they take effect.

To satisfy your curiosity (spelling??), I've started using BitTorrent
and port forwarding has been recommended if you're behind a router.

I'll wait until the curent downloads are completed before I try it.

Does the above look about right to you (in order to pert forward)?
