Our company owns a class-c address range.
Our network provider, TimeWarner (now L3), has dropped a data line in with a /30 net addresses. They have also designated that our class-c addresses are to be sent to our router so that we can use them down-stream of our RV325.
Everything seems to be working fine, except.....
We have a couple of network devices that contact an external server. That server then uses the source ip address in the packet and opens a reverse connection back to our device on a special port. The problem is that all our packets have a source ip address that equates to the /30 address of the WAN interface on the RV325, not the true address (one of our class-c addresses).
Current settings:
The WAN address is the /30 net address with the GW being on that /30 net. On the RV325, we have DHCP turned off. We have placed our class-c address range in the "Multiple Subnet Table". VLANs are turned off.
I think I need to change the "working mode" to "Router" on the Advanced Routing panel. When I do that, my outbound packets now have the correct source-ip address, but the inbound routing is not working. Because from an outside network, I can then ping the "dot-1" address that I used for the router, but I can't ping any other addresses on the internal network.
I need some help.
Thanks, Tony
