Title: Port forwarding in 6.0.1
Post by: pcdickinson on August 20, 2004, 09:33:57 PM

Can anyone confirm that the port forwarding feature in SME 6.0.1 actually works? I've been able to enter port forwarding rules into the server manager and it has accepted them, but they don't appear to work at all, even after rebooting the server.

For example, I have an FTP server at 192.168.1.13 on my local network. I can connect to this with a telnet session by typing telnet 192.168.1.13 21 from a machine on the local network. So to test the port forwarding I set up a rule which points port 8021 on the SME at port 21 on 192.168.1.13 and then I type telnet x.x.x.x 8021 on a machine on the internet, where x.x.x.x is the SME's public ip address. Nothing, not a sausage, even after rebooting the server.

i can fully confirm that port forwarding works just fine... i just spent most of the day forwarding a mess of various ports to 3 different stations on my LAN. All works just fine, mind you getting it done was painfully slow as the server is a P166 with 64ram..lol... have you allowed telnet access in the remote access panel, I think the setting there overides all others... And I think SME knows it's telnet regardless of what port it's using and will block it, if not enabled in the remote access selection...

Quade.

Quade.

How do you do that? I don't see any mention of telnet in the remote access panel.

thanks
