Having taken another look at your previous device, it would appear it was a gateway of some sort. I'm now wondering if you're seeing hangover from previously having a double-NAT setup. In terms of network hardware, the Arris S33 cable modem is classified as a bridge which once provisioned, is completely transparent to your network. This permits your Linksys router to obtain a public routable IP address. Traffic sent to this IP address would then be forwarded to internal IP addresses in your network based on what port the traffic comes in on.
Something else to check: Do you have any router logs showing the desired traffic reaching your public IP?
Thank you again, everyone
Yes, PPTP is enabled on Linksys EA6400.
The WAN IP on Arris S33 is showing up on Linksys EA6400.
I think I need to spend some time this weekend to try more things.
Thanks again.
Hello Everyone,
I did the factory re-set Linksys EA6400 after removing all the PCs and other devices from my LAN environment.
Finally, port forwarding is working as expected.
Thanks everyone for making various suggestions!
Happy port forwarding!
Whatever you are trying to connect with using the port forwarding, has it been provided with your NEW IP address, or is it still trying to get through using your OLD IP address?
Huzzah! I am glad a factory reset worked but I wonder what the problem was?
