I've been using port forwarding for years in all versions of SME and it's worked great for me.. Now I can't get it to work in 7.6. Is there a known bug?
Which log would I look at to see why it is not forwarding?
I have a local network with my SME server on 10.0.0.46 and a custom web server listening on 10.0.0.42.
When I'm on the local network, I can type 10.0.0.42 on any web browser and get my custom web server.
When I am offsite, I can VPN into the SME server using the SME vpn and type 10.0.0.46 in my web browser and get the custom web server.
When I am offsite and I hit the external static IP of SME server, I get the little web site served up by SME. I then put the rule on the SME server to forward port 80 to 10.0.0.46 and then try and hit it the external server IP again from the outside world and I get nothing - it just sits there..
Thanks,
Chris

Most likely cause of that is that the default gateway on your custom web server is not set to 10.0.0.46.

That was exactly it -- thank you so much Charlie!
