Re: [OCLUG-Tech] {SOLVED} IP Forwarding & DD-WRT

Raj,


So after much reading I sorted the problem out my way. Edited the 
/etc/hosts.conf files added the IP of my webserver and the domain for each of 
the computers  in the network.  The webserver is on a fixed IP so that solved 
that issue. To guaranty that that the port forwarding always worked I used a 
port forwarding rule I found in the DDWRT forums.  This I put in the Admin. 
section: Commands and have it as part of the start up scripts.

Thanks to all those that contacted me offline to offer help.

PS.  It would seem that DD-WRT is broken with regards to port forwarding. I'll 
continue to use it for now as I'm very familiar with it even if it is flawed 
and I like the comfort of familiarity.
