1225875 2011-09-05 22:09:00 Righto - finally had a go with it at home last night, I just couldn't get the firewall to behave though. I tried DMZ from my netcomm to the WAN IP of the gargoyle router, then forwarding the ports from gargoyle onto a PC on the network, but there just wasn't any life. (Was using 3389 for RDP just to test.)

Tried forwarding individual ports from the netcomm and then DMZ from gargoyle to the IP address of the PC on the network, still no life. Tried wiping all the forwards on the netcomm and just forwarding a single port to the WAN IP address of the gargoyle router, then in gargoyle forwarded the same port onto a PC on the network, but wasn't getting any life...

Obviously this is something you've done many times Chill, any ideas what I may be missing? It's got to be something silly, I was scratching my head over it for quite a while last night...

The way I had it setup for testing was this - Netcomm, 192.168.2.1, DHCP on-> Wan (192.168.2.6) port on gargoyle (192.168.1.1) with DHCP on-> ethernet port on gargoyle -> PC.

Was getting net fine, could communicate normally on the network, but no port forwards were being allowed though.

Thanks. :)

1225878 2011-09-06 03:34:00 Ah thanks, that will be the answer. Now, to see if I can do that with the TC 2wire modem. :D wratterus (105)
