Greetings,
I used to have a SMB RV042 router that I replaced with the RV320 after it died and because I need the two WANs to be GbE for our new Internet service of 150 Mbps. Now we have 2 links, first is the 150 Mbps service and the other is a 1.5 Mbps that we use for the App and Mail servers.
After the installation and configuration of the unit along with weeks of frustration, I have stumbled with two big problems that I would like to share to see if someone can help me out:
1) WAN1 has the Static IP 96.xx.xx.225 and WAN2 has the static IP 74.xx.xx.82. I have used ONE-ON-ONE-NAT to assign most of the WAN2 IPs to the servers we have and things work fine, however, I am having big problems with WAN1. If I try to access the unit remotely using https://96.xx.xx.225:8080 it won't go anywhere, but if I use https://74.xx.xx.82:8080 from WAN2 it works! Same if I try to map any internal IP with any IP of the WAN1 block 96.xx.xx.224/255.255.255.240. It simply won't work but for WAN2 everything works just fine. I tried playing with the firewall rules to no avail. Let's say that I tell the router that I want the WAN1's IP 96.xx.xx.226 for the internal IP 192.168.1.5. It won't work if I want to access it from the internet but if I do the same thing using the WAN2's IP 74.xx.xx.89 it will perfectly work. I don't know if this is an issue related to the fact that we are using 2 internet links and we are mapping different internal IPs with different WAN1 and WAN2 IPs . The router should work because it asks for the WAN interface you want for the one-one NAT thing. Also, is set to Load Balance mode, not Smart Link. Any ideas of what I can do to solve this?
Now 2) I have mapped my internal mail and web servers IPs with the WAN2's static IPs using one-on-one NAT. Everything works like a charm if you try to send and receive e-mails from outside of the office but internally, the connection times out. I tried to ping the external IPs from my own computer and it works but if I actually want to retrieve or send mail it won't let me. The curious thing is... if I go to the web browser and I place the external IPs mapped to the internals it will bring the Router's web interface instead of the web site associated with that IP!! It seems that instead of masquerading the internal IPs with the external, the router is trying to do some kind of loop-back or self-assigned traffic to itself. NO matter what I have tried to do, I cannot connect from my internal network to our mail servers because the router is not handling the forwarding/masquerading traffic correctly. Has anyone had this problem too? Is there someone who has fixed this?
Thank you all in advance,
