IP/domain questions
I have a Draytek Vigor 2600 Plus router, with multiple static IPs, I mapped the WAN IPs into local IPs without a problem.
Installed an NT4 server, I can access the home page using FQDN and ping the WAN IP on the same network without any problems.
If I tried to ping the DN or WAN IP from a different internet network, it will timed out, but strange enough I can type in the domain name, the home page will display.
The router has DoS, filters and firewall off, I cant figure out whats the cause of this, if the router is blocking external traffics, then I shouldnt be able to open the home page from a different broadband connection, if its not blocking, then I should be able to ping both the DN and IP.
Any one could help on where else I should look ?
Many thanks
ps. I installed OWA on the NT4 box and I can also access the ES55 from a different broadband connection, but cant seem to sent any emails from the NT4 server, comes back as can't route (sorry but not on the problem PCs right now). I suspect a DNS problem on this one, but could it also linked to the problems above ?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Even though you've disabled some things in the router, it is possible that ping in particular is blocked. It is not unusual for ping to be blocked even though a web site is available at the same address. That is beacuse there is a form of hacker attack known as the "ping of death".

I would like the points since they are not being refunded and since I basically answered the question.
