The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

SonicWall blocks valid WAN IPs as "IP spoof"

Asked by sfschool in TCP/IP, DSL Lines / Cable Internet, Networking Hardware Firewalls

Tags: , , , ,

Our SonicWall TZ190 blocks some important and legitimate WAN-to-LAN traffic just because the incoming IP sources are similar to our OPTional WAN IP (which is a dynamic IP, not a static one) . For example, outside WAN 74.130.X.Y is blocked as an "IP Spoof" because our OPTional WAN IP is 74.130.Y.X.  (I'm not a network expert, so please forgive my simple explanation.)

Unfortunately, the TZ190 doesn't provide an easy or obvious way to solve this problem, at least not for me.

Does anyone know of a solution? Could I configure rules that would work around the false positives in spoof-detection? Could I connect the OPTional WAN modem to another router and then to the SonicWall? If so, how so? Can incoming traffic be forced through our Primary Wan (which IS a static IP and works fine)?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated; I'm on the hook for this at a new place of employment.Start Free Trial
