I have been reading through the topics for the last two hours now and I just don't get it.
Previously I have been using dd-wrt on a Linksys router. There were some simple port redirections when accessed from the internet, as an example 58080->8080 on a specific host in my LAN. Somehow a very typical setup.
Now I am using backfire and have created the same forwards. Works fine from the internet, but not when I access my public adress on port 58080. This connection will just get refused. This was working on dd-wrt.
I have been reading through some possible solutions but they were all limited and looked like a workaround to me.
Can anybody explain in a simple way why this behavious is different and cannot be achieved with 10.03 easily?
I guess, there are good (security?) reasons for this, but I just don't get it.
I am very thankful for some information here.
Kind regards
Markus
