George, you've already been told that you can only connect to your LAN server while using the public IP address with NAT loopback enabled. Perhaps you don't understand why, but those are the clear facts, whether you like it or not. If you are unable to enable LAN loopback because your router / firewall does not support it, then there is nobody that can help you.

I have to clear this one up, if no other issue for today.
I can connect to my LAN server from a client within my LAN which is *emulating* a remote client, by addressing the server via its public IP address. But, Rob, as far as I am aware, *no* NAT loopback is enabled. The only feature enabled on the router which can be said to generically resemble a loopback, is that the router has an inbound rule in operation to send all traffic on the appropriate ports to the LAN server (where *my* server code is running to pick it up). This arrangement I construe as Port Forwarding - (whether it is or not actually true port forwarding in a technical sense, you are all welcome to correct me on if you wish). But there is no formal setting nor implementation of any other kind of router or LAN-wide loopback going on anywhere here at all.
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs. |
