Topic: SME8 cannnot access the internal network

[dbaddour]

Hi,
THis is my first attempt on new install for the SME8. I have 2 other servers running SME7.xx.
What troubled me is:
the new install is as follow:
- external IP: 192.168.5.50  GW: 192.168.5.211
- internal IP: 192.168.6.100

from a system on the internal network with 192.168.6.11 IP and using the 192.168.6.100 GW i can access everything on the extrnal network (192.168.5.xx) but from my 192.168.5.xx i cannot access anything on the 192.168.6.xx network... I can ping 192.168.6.100 with no problem... i cannot bring the SME GUI on that subnet only with the external IP.

Idea?

Please and thank you

Hi

it's so "by design" because SME is acting as a firewall and almost no traffic from External to Internal interface is allowed

you should start reading the documentation and telling us what are you trying to achieve..

Ah ok,

the 5.x is my office network... I want to add another network to extand it for the DEV team which will be the 6.xx subnet... I want the SME to act as route between those 2 subnet, access back and forth.. ( i don't want to use a router)..
