Firewall issue, possibly after changing default gateway

[stuartsjg 2]

Hello,

 

Today i replaced my router for one with VPN features.   I did have a router which was supplied by my ISP and I've replaced this for a Netgear FVX538.

 

I've connected to the internet with no issues and went to setup my port forwarding.

 

Emby (3.0.5675.1) runs on FreeNAS (9.3) and i had forwarded port 8096 and had no issues connecting from anywhere on the web.    Now ive forwarded 8096 again on the new Netgear and Emby appears never to respond.

 

I also had ports on FreeNAS forwarded, and ive set these up on the new Netgear and they are working perfectly.

 

As such, im sure the new Netgear is working properly and im forwarding the ports properly.

 

As i test, i setup an all port forward rule to Emby and again i get no response.   If i done the same to FreeNAS, around 4 ports are visible - again pointing me towards Emby as somehow being upset.

 

During the setup, i did have a few issues, the old router was 192.168.1.254 so i set the new one on 192.168.1.1 and updated the global gateway setting in FreeNAS, then restarted Emby.

 

When i done this i forgot the old and new router were both trying to be DHCP servers.  I disabled the old router DHCP so only 192.168.1.1 had this.

 

Emby still wasn't working so i changed the new router to 192.168.1.254 and unplugged the old one.   I updated FreeNAS back to 192.168.1.254 but had no luck at all.

 

Just some numbers for reference:

Old/Current Gateway 192.168.1.254

Emby IP 192.168.1.204

FreeNAS IP 192.168.1.250

 

Emby forwarding TCP/UDP 8096 (cannot get any response or access to this)

FreeNAS forwarding 443 (works well) 

 

Any help or advice would be very well received.

Ahah!   Turned out a reboot of FreeNAS has solved it!

 

I had rebooted it before but that may have been during the network conflicts but thats solved now.

 

Hope the post perhaps is a useful reference
