You've reminded me of a question I meant to ask, does it matter whether I use WAN1 or WAN2 for the routed SDSL, connection bearing in mind that the other ADSL connection will be connected via a Vigor 120?

No, not at all.

Hmmmm, exactly the same. Appears to reboot every 15 seconds. From a windows PC, I can use "ping 192.168.1.1 -t" and the Vigor 2950 will respond until I do ctrl-c to stop. When I plug in the WAN router, the pings stop responding after 15 seconds and respond again about 8 seconds later.
I think I might reflash the box, just in case & try again.

Well, it looks as though reflashing the 2950 did the job! It was strange that everything looked fine but it just rebooted regularly. Now I have a 2950 that doesnt reboot & I can access the internet. Great!
Anyway, can someone please clarify something in my head with reference to the NAT/Port Redirection and the firewall ruleset.

I want to setup port redirection, to redirect anything that hits my external IP address on 443, to an internal IP on 443. I can manage that bit, but the question is, do I need any firewall data filter rules to enable this? (I know what I've said can be done with NAT/Open Ports but I might be changing the external port at a later date, so I'd prefer to use the port redirection rule).

I suppose what I'm looking for is a concise document that explains how the draytek box handles its firewall rules. Anyone have any good links? The user guide isn't up to much.

Scott

No, you're fine as you are.

Great Neal, thanks. I just want to be absolutely sure that all communications that cross this box are accounted for! I'm off to do a bit of investigation re draytek rules/nat/open ports/port forwarding to make sure I've 'got' the way they implement this. You may see an new thread in the very near future.

Scott
