I have a LTE connection to the internet through a Huawei B315s-936 router. It's internal IP Address is 10.0.0.1, with DHCP configured to start allocating addresses from 10.0.0.3 I can also ping this router's public IP Address from an external computer fine.
This router only has one device connected to it, a NETGEAR R6400 WiFi Router.
The Netgear's internet setup is configured as a static IP address 10.0.0.2, with it's gateway configured as 10.0.0.1 The Netgear's LAN setup is configured with internal IP Address 192.168.1.1 and has DHCP configured to start allocating addresses from 192.168.1.4
ALL other network devices in my home connect to this NETGEAR router, and have addresses in the 192.168.1 range.
Outgoing internet access work fine from all devices.
Now I have a service running on a server that I would like to access when I am away from home. This service is accessed locally via a web browser on local address 192.168.1.15:799
So what I have done is to configure the Virtual Server settings on the Huawei Router as follows:
On my Netgear Router I have configured Port Forwarding as follows:
Yet, when I point a web browser at [huawei router public ip addess]:799, the browser returns an Unable to Connect message (it's not a 404 not found response...it's just a no-response at all)
What I find interesting is that if I configure the Netgear Router's logging to log Port-Forwarding events, I can see the following entries that indicate that the router is receiving the requests:
[LAN access from remote] from [ip address of remote computer]:37238 to 192.168.1.15:799, Thursday, Sep 14,2017 08:08:06
[LAN access from remote] from [ip address of remote computer]:37237 to 192.168.1.15:799, Thursday, Sep 14,2017 08:08:06
[LAN access from remote] from [ip address of remote computer]:37433 to 192.168.1.15:799, Thursday, Sep 14,2017 08:05:40
[LAN access from remote] from [ip address of remote computer]:37432 to 192.168.1.15:799, Thursday, Sep 14,2017 08:05:40
Note the port of the FROM address is incrementing for some reason, but it does show that the destination of the request is the expected internal ip address and port. This tells me that the Netgear Router is receiving the request from the Huawei Router.
Please help me understand what I am missing here to get this working?
