Webswitch 1216H Support in English > Configuration of Routers, Firewalls, etc
Cannot get public access
N9RC:
I have a new Webswitch 1216H configuration 192.168.1.236 port 80. It operates fine on local LAN. I have a Netgear N600 router configured for port 80 pass through to the 1216H address. I have been trying to use my public IP address to access(It has been static). All I get get is time outs. I am trying to access from W7 Firefox browser on local LAN. I have also tried remote through Android Gingerbread phone same result. Any ideas?
dj0qn:
Likely your router also uses port 80 to access, so I suggest you change the port of the Webswitch from
port 80 to something else and forward that port 1:1. Just a hunch that that may solve your problem.

I switched to port 85. Same result. OK local LAN, no connection through router. I am typing in my public IP address.
50.X.XXX.XXX:85 and that always times out. If I type 192.168.1.236:85 OK
dj0qn:
Looks like a problem with the router in its port forwarding. Try a trick and place it in the DMZ instead
and see if that helps. There are a number of settings that can screw it up and DMZ gets around most
of them. If that works, you can always switch it back to a port forward and find the problem.
Remember not to do both, only one or the other!

DMZ same result. I will try a different router later today. For failed test I used "find ip" to find my public IP address. Added colon 85 for port and entered in browser. I have tripled checked setup. I assume I don't have to use ddns for addressing?
