Hi,
The Zyxel modem has dsl, internet and 2 unused voip ports. The internet port is connected to the router. The router has 4 (ethernet?) ports. PC and Dreambox are connected to the router. Wireless is off. DHCP is off. I set the "local IP addresses" in the router. Router is xx.x.x.1, PC is #2 and Dreambox #3.
If I understand you correctly I have to forward port 12000 in two steps.
Step 1. From modem to router.
Step 2. From router to Dreambox.
I'm confused which IP addresses to enter at both steps. Maybe you can clarify a bit.
I checked the status of the port through [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register], among others.
As requested I mention the results from ifconfig and ipconfig below. |
Thanks for including the ipconfig and ifconfig.
Actually what I was trying to establish was whether all of these devices were on the same network. What are called "private" addresses really don't need to be x'ed out and kept private. "Public" addresses are the ones it is best not to post.
But it seems as if all of these devices are visible to each other, so I guess that is enough.
Your Zyxel modem is capable of forwarding. If wireless is off, I'm not sure why the Netgear is there at all. I'm also not sure what the IP address is for the Zyxel - if it is the same as for the Netgear, there will be a conflict.
Given your setup, without trying to remove or change anything around physically, keep everything the same except to forward the Zyxel to xx.x.x.1 (the Netgear) rather than xx.x.x.3. From what you said earlier, the Netgear is set up properly to forward incoming 12000 to the Dreambox on port 12000.
The CCcam server on 12000 in the Dreambox has to be running to accept connections and to be "seen". You have said you can connect to your friends with your Dreambox, so nothing is blocking outgoing connections.
If this does not work, you should look first to the Zyxel to make sure its firewall settings do not stop forwarding, then to the Netgear for the same check.
Again, from what you have said, the Netgear really does not have to be there and my inclination would be to remove it if changing the forwarding address and checking any firewalls does not solve your problem.

or Google search for Double NAT. This is what you normally wish to avoid. If you must have this sort of physical set up, follow the suggestion for placing the first of the routers in bridge mode, making certain it connects to nothing on your LAN except the second router. This is really just a way of removing the first router without physically unhooking it from your network.
