In this thread you touched on a couple of things that I think may bear on a problem I’m having:
I’m using a MAX BR1-LTE on AT&T’s network, and need access from the outside world through various ports from 5000 to 6000. The MAX BR1 firewall is wide open, and I believe I have the port forwarding set up correctly, yet a port scan returns all ports blocked. I can’t even ping it from outside.
This turned out not to be an issue with ashelly’s situation, but you asked whether the WAN IP was a routable public IP address. Mine is not - it’s a 10.whatever on AT&T’s network. But I have a dynamically assigned address through dyndns.com.
Is this likely my problem? I’m unclear on why whatever address translation occurs between dyndns.com and AT&T and my modem would not make my ports visible from outside.
I’ve been around the block a bunch of times with AT&T over the last week, trying to get a dynamic public address assigned. Before I shorten my life even further, I’d like to be sure that this would even solve my problem.
(BTW, I have a separate WAN connection through Clearwire WiMax - with a public IP - through which all of the above works just fine. It’s just slow.)
Thanks for any guidance you can provide!
