RV320 Port Forwarding

[nathankavanagh98]

Hello,

I am trying to port forward one of our servers which uses the IP address 192.168.1.200 to Port 84 on the RV320 router.

When I add the port forwarding rule on the router and made sure it was enabled and then rebooted the router. When I type in the address in the web browser it still wont reach the page. I want to mention that I have ddns setup so instead of typing in http://192.168.1.200:84 I type in http://alerton-server:84 

I have also checked the firewall settings on the router to see if it might be blocked. Made sure the servers ip settings had the right gateway so its the routers IP address. There isn't other port forwarding rules for that port either. Could someone tell me what I might be doing wrong or am I missing something?

http://192.168.1.200:84  is the url for the host used on your local network ?

port forwarding on your router forwards packet incoming on the outside interface to this host

for this you need to use the outside (public) ip-address not the local address

Port forwarding is usually used from your wan rtr to allow communication to a an internal host/port on its network, Now you say you have enabled this for a certain host, but you show you are trying to connect to that internal host via its non public routable private ip address and not the wan routers public ip which you need to be doing?

I want to mention that I have ddns setup so instead of typing in http://192.168.1.200:84 I type in http://alerton-server:84 

this also contains an error.

the url should more likely  be http://alerton-server.ddns.org:84
