I need help with port forwarding
I have my arduino set up on my internal network at 192.168.100.105:80
I have a wireless router at 192.168.100.1
in front of a westell verizon dsl at 192.168.1.1
it communicates with the wireless router at 192.168.1.47
I tried to set up port forwarding on each device, but it is not yet working
need help troubleshooting
If you expect to access the Arduino from the internet, that won't happen. The dsl modem must port forward the public IP to your pivate IP.
If you are trying to access it from the 192.168.1.x network, that would probably require a port forward in the dsl modem also.
OK i got it,
my problem was that you have to test it from outside your network
which is odd, it seems that if you entered the host address you could go out and come back in, but that
is just not the case, as is so much in life i suppose!
The way it works is if the destination IP address is not localnet, then the packets are passed to the gateway, which is your dsl router. Since 192.168.100.x net is not a network on the gateway dsl router, it doesn't know where to send the packets. You would have to route the 192.168.100.0/24 net to the 192.168.1.47 IP in the dsl router.
