Configuration of Routers, Firewalls, etc / Cannnot Access Outside Lan
« on: 2020-06-16, 15:57:41 »
After several years of operation I was unable to connect to remote RRC. I brought everything home and have it setup on my home router. Control RRC is via Wi-Fi while the Remote RRC is wired. They connect together fine on my local LAN and everything works correctly.
I am not able to connect to the Remote RRC web page via my cell phone which I have been able to in the past. I was using that as a test to see if it is working correctly before I take it to the remote site. I don't recall ever having to configure my DSL router to make this work. I did go ahead and put the Remote RRC IP in the DMZ and setup Port forwarding. In addition I changed the Remote RRC web port to 918 from 80. Still no luck. I can go the the Remote Rig DNS site and pull up the status of the Remote RRC. After spending several hours on this problem I am at a loss. I guess all I need to enter in my cell phone is the host name for the Remote RRC and I don't need to enter WWW or HTTP: or HTTPS: along with the host name. I get a site cannot be found error almost instantly which seems strange. I would think it would search a little longer. Thanks, Tom W5GV
