WAN & LAN same Access
HI,
I have a Zyxel 660HW-I ADSL Router and on the LAN side I have a Web-server
installed and also a Mail-server. Until now I accessed the Mail-Server and
the Web Pages form the LAN using the local IP Numbers (192.168.1.xx) and
outside (WAN) usign my dynamic IP-address. Now I have a Laptop that I use
both at home and at work and I wold like to use always my WAN IP Address
also to access my Mail and the Web pages from the LAN. How do I have to set
my router?
Thanks for your help

Re: WAN & LAN same Access
You could use a dynamic dns service and set your router to connect/update it
with whatever your IP happens to be at that time, then you could simply
connect that way. I'm assuming you're using just a standard email client to
connect to the mail server and web server?
If you're thinking about remote access (RDP or the like) then that might be
a bit tricky on a windows environment as you can only port forward 3389 to
one internal IP address, unless you wanted to double RDP (ie. connect to one
server, then remote connect to any inside the LAN).
If you're talking *nix then you could simply connect on different ports.

Re: WAN & LAN same Access
Hi EvilNem,
I already have a dyndns service that give me always the right IP. My problem
is that inside my LAN network I have to use the local IP assigned to the
WEB-SERVER (192.168.1.xx) machine or to the Mail-SERVER machine to access
it and I can't use the public IP given by the dyndns service to access it
like I wold access it from the WAN. How can I tell the Zyxel Router that if
I use my public IP address from inside my LAN it should re-route the
connection internally to the requested service?
Thanks
Gian Carlo

Re: WAN & LAN same Access
I'm not sure you can do that as the zyxel will only route one port to one
internal IP address.
ie. if you connect on port 3389 to your public IP address, you can only
route that to the Web server OR the mail server, you can't discriminate
between the two, which is why I suggested you'd probably have to double hop
the remote connection. ie port forward to one server, then login remotely to
the other server once you are inside the LAN.
Alternatively you could setup a VPN connection to connect through to an
internal authetication server and connect to IP address of either server
that way.
