Port Forwarding
When you create a port forwarding entry, your Mitel Networks server will forward the port to the destination IP address and port you define. Both TCP and UDP protocols may be defined however only TCP protocols forward. UDP protocols do not support forwarding and are simply opened on the firewall for inbound traffic.

Click here to create a new port forwarding entry.

Current List of Port Forwards.

Protocol Ext Port Dest IP Address Dest Port  
TCP 1234 192.168.1.66 80 Remove...

I am a home-worker trying to give people access to my various asp projects on an internal windows 2000 server.

Thanks

you need to add another entry for UDP

as far as I know, whenever you want to forward a port you need to make 2 entries
one for TCP and one for UDP

Since port 80 is already bound to the external interface for web services do you not have to stop http or change http to run on a different port before trying to forward it?

Not true. TCP and UDP are independent things. You can forward one or the other or both.

Charlie, can you help, i have still not managed to do this....

Again, i am trying to give www access to my internal windows 2000 server. I have installed the ip forwarding module and tried different settings, but with no luck.

Requests just seems to go nowhere.....

I had major problems forwarding port 80 to an IIS5 server. Eventually I changed the default gateway setting on the IIS5 server to the internal IP on the SME box and all was well.
