(Soon to be gone) I had an existing Router connected via eth to the RUTX50 WAN port. This router is a broadband Very high-speed digital subscriber line (VDSL) router has its own gateway into the street Fibre via vdsl.
I used it for redundancy as I tested the features of Load Sharing and Failover on the RUTX50. This is now isolated completely from RUTX50, as of yesterday. Note the Rule I am trying to apply to the RUTX50 has worked perfectly on that vdsl router for years.
Now as I begin the transfer of the same rules to the RUTX50, but the issue is as described in the title above.
I reach the RUTX50 from SIM 1 connected to a mast 5km away in clear view. Signal Strength -60db(Excellent). (Download typically 300mb/s)
The gateway traffic arrives at the WAN via MOB1S1A1 with a typical IP range 92.40.197.xxx
Here is the overview of Port Forwards RDC rule (see below).
RDC |
IPv4 tcp, udp
From any host in wan
Via IP 92.40.196.xxx at port 3389 |
IP 192.168.2.156, port 3389 in lan |
If I look in the Rule External IP Address dropdown list, I see only LAN IP Addresses and -Custom- and Any.
Q. Should I also be able to see 92.40.197.xxx in that list?
Of course I tried 'Any' but nothing gets through to the LAN.
Assuming I have done things correctly, why does it fail?
PS I use DDNS to pinpoint the current IP as updated in Services > Dynamic DNS > myddns settings.
