A simple problem. I have multiple IP addresses as I need several machines in the network to have their own, unique non NAT'd IP address.
I have set the router up successfully in this config and the machines behind it can access the internet or be accessed from the internet.
The problem is the fecking firewall
It is supposed to be a stateful firewall, but I cant get it to work properly.
The manual that came with it is worse than useless. The more comprehensive manual that is available from ftp.draytek.co.uk is also useless. The message boards after extensive searching do have a few topics with people that have the same problem, however there are no answers
I just want it to allow all outgoing for now, and block all incoming apart from packets related to sessions allready open. I will worry about the rest once I have this working.
Kind of like the protection you get from sitting behind a NAT firewall.
I would also be interested in a description of what the keep state checkbox actually does (it sure doesn't work as I expected) and will only stay on when set on rules to deny connections.
Please bare in mind with any replies, I know how firewalls work and have set up numerous other ones (in fact I've set up loads of these particualr ones in NAT mode successfully)
