I configure the router to use both WAN 1 and WAN 2 and it works just fine. All connected computers can go out either port. I configure 1-1 NAT as described above and things get strange. On the computers configured for 1-1 NAT, their IP when viewed by ipchicken.com is ALWAYS 70.46.xxx.90 (WAN 2's IP). It is never any other IP. On computers NOT configured for 1-1 NAT, the IP reported varies like it should. I discovered that in the load balancing settings for each WAN port, I can turn on protocol binding and force specific protocols or even specific computers to always use a certain WAN port. This works as expected and always reports the WAN IP of the port I have assigned it to. I used this in conjunction with the 1-1 NAT settings above and the computers configured for 1-1 NAT simply don't go online anymore. This kinda makes sense because I have now told the router to send those computers out two different IP addresses (even though both IP's are on the same port). So basically at this point I'm stumped. It is refusing to go out the IP I have told it to go out. So I get an idea, since it seems to like WAN2's IP I adjust the 1-1 NAT to line up with WAN2's subnet range instead of WAN1's range. Guess what? This works just like it should. I now have the 1-1 NAT configured as follows. NAT1: 192.168.140.7 > 70.46.xxx.91 NAT2: 192.168.140.8 > 70.46.xxx.92 NAT3: 192.168.140.9 > 70.46.xxx.93 When I use ipchicken.com on those computers now they show the IP I have told it to. So how do I get it to do the same with WAN1? I'm not physically at the router otherwise I'd try swapping WAN 1 and WAN 2 and seeing if the problem follows. I also cannot upgrade the firmware or do a hard reset because of this. I do want to upgrade the firmware but I need to wait until I can coordinate with someone on site to reconfigure the WAN IP address so I can get back into it as I'm sure the upgrade will force a factory defaults reset. Ugh even more strange behavior from this thing. Now 192.168.140.7 shows 72.17.xxx.154 (WAN 1 IP) instead of 70.46.xxx.91 like it was. But at the exact same time 192.168.140.8 shows 70.46.xxx.92 like it has been. What's going on with this thing?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21260632 2008-10-13 18:13:34 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21259734 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21259734 2008-10-13 15:18:56 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21259732 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21259732 2008-10-13 15:18:07 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21244142 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21244142 2008-10-10 01:29:22 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21207278 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21207278 2008-10-02 21:45:50 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21237517 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21237517 2008-10-08 21:43:58 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21218178 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21218178 2008-10-05 11:04:01 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21254707 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21254707 2008-10-12 13:02:16 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21254580 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21254580 2008-10-12 12:22:57 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21245322 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21245322 2008-10-10 10:51:19
