Setting up NAT for web server access on 7800 DX

[psesoftware]

Hi,

I've been struggling for a day with a simple task of forwarding traffic from one of our four external IP addresses to a single internal web server.

On our Netgear router we would just add a port forwarding line to redirect port 80 from the external x.x.x.x to internal y.y.y.y.

I've looked at the other threads and other sites elsewhere for clues. I've tried 1-1 NAT, Virtual Server and also Incoming IP filtering to achieve this all with no success.

I've reset the router and upgraded the firmware to 2.32e but still no joy.

The management port has been set to 8080 to avoid conflicts.

So basically I want all traffic from one external address x.x.x.x to pass to internal y.y.y.y and for this to be able to sent web content back to the user via the external ip address.

Please can someone help with me with this.

If you have a range of external IP address, and you want to use 1 of your external IP addresses for your web server, then you must either use no nat or one to one NAT

With one to one nat you tag your external web address to a internal IP address (but a firewall will have to be inplace on your web server, as when using one to one nat all ports are exposed) eg 80.222.222.222 maps to 192.168.1.202
