<\/p>\nHere’s a frustrating little niggle.<\/p>\n
I’m having to use a downgraded router (due to not having FTC, as previously moaned about).<\/p>\n
To allow internet traffic to access any of the servers running on my LAN, I have to configure port forwarding on the above mentioned router.<\/p>\n
In my last (FTC) house, I configured port forwarding through a nifty little utility that is installed on my NAS.<\/p>\n
I don’t want to faff (technical word, there) with using the same utility to configure port forwarding, because the law of sod clearly dictates that whatever I do now, it will over-write port forwarding rules that I have previously configured for my FTC router.<\/p>\n
And I don’t want to do that, because if Openreach (hey, I did say *if*) stick to their updated delivery, and have FTC installed here, by the middle of the month, then I plan on switching over to the previously configured router and hey presto, Robert’s your mother’s brother!<\/p>\n
So I’ve had a bash at manually configuring port forwarding the Plusnet Technicolor (sic) Gateway.<\/p>\n
And hit a wall.<\/p>\n
No matter how much time I spend in the config menu\/sub-menus, no matter which changes I make (then unmake, obv), I can’t get port forwarding fully enabled\/configured.<\/p>\n
Everytime I think I’ve done it correctly, I put the uri in the browser and…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I have no idea how to bypass this – the IP traffic should go straight to the domain I’m using as a test-site for all this experimenting – experiment.co.uk (except it isn’t that one, obv).<\/p>\n
But it doesn’t, clearly, traffic is being routed to experiment.co.uk\/login.lp<\/p>\n
I don’t want to spend too much time on it.<\/p>\n
If the word of Openreach is good (sceptical face) I’m only going to have to endure the current setup for two more weeks.<\/p>\n
But how frustrating, to get so near, and yet, so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
