Hi all
I was trying to set up at webserver at a local PC, and I wanted to make it available on the internet.
I then used the uPnP functionality in order not to have to reboot the router, to open the port 80 (under control panel -> network connections there is a link to the gateway, here it is possible to set up the same as in the virtual server page on the routers homepage). This resulted in that I could not access the internet at all!
Of course I tried to open the port directly on the router, and here it worked fine!
This leads me to believe that there is a bug in the uPnP implementation on the router. Looking at the port forwarding page under status an log showed me this:
129.112.214.229 tcp 80 192.168.1.2
anywhere tcp 81 192.168.1.2:81
The first line is port 80 forwarding set up on the router, whereas the second line shows the forwarding of port 81 from the uPnP interface (note, I changed the IP address for security reasons).
Should they not look the same?
I hope somebody can shed some light on this.
BR,
René
