I am having the worst time trying to get remote access working on my WHS (custom build). I am using a Linksys WRT320N with DDWRT firmware. I also had trouble with a very very old Linksys WRT54G using Tomato but I no longer have access to that router.


My WHS has a static IP address of 192.168.1.200
I can successfully access the webpage and log in via the IP address from within the network



I believe I have the correct ports forwarded (80, 443, 4125 and 3389) to *.200
** removed attachment because I had my IP info in it.

I did a port scan and these ports came up up stealthed

I have external access to the router turned off but I also played with around with alternate ports (like 8080) for external router access


Oddly enough, if I forward port 80 to my PC and turn on Apache - I can access it externally.

Any ideas on what the issue might be? It seems to be between my router and my whs somewhere.


Thanks!!

On my own network i don't have the server setup as static. On the router i enabled upnp, i then port forwarded the what ifno cam up in upnp. dd-wrt normaly remmebers the server and the orginal ip it was on even after a few days.

If it not too much to do, then do a 30/30/30 on router, and remove static ip server first.

reconfig network.


Note to yourself :- Next time you take scree shot off router config air brush out wan ip address.

WHS UPNP configuration says it fails but the it shows up on the router correctly... still having the same issues.

okay, I figured it out!!

First - I had to follow this guide for creating a static route
http://www.dd-wrt.co...php/Static_DHCP

Second - I had to undo something I did when I set up my WHS. When I set up my WHS, I edited the network connections to use a fixed IP. That somehow conflicts with the static route in the walk through above. Undoing it resolved my issue.
