Re: network mystery!!??

[Jack Craig <jack.craig.aptos@xxxxxxxxx>]

Now that my network mystery has been resolved, I thought I would explain my challenges.

 for this to make sense I need to add a bit of backstory.

 my problem started about 12 months ago, I had purchased an static  IP block from AT&T and

 the bandwidth package. it was fairly small but it worked with a pace 5238ac

modem Router from AT&T and it was working OK.  it didn't have much in the way of

lan control; I wanted better Wi-Fi and better lan client control .

so I went out and  bought a nighthawk and started connecting it in a cascade to the

Internet where the nighthawk backed up the AT&T router .

 come January this year I was looking at bandwidth short fall and decided to get an upgrade

I ordered the upgraded bandwidth package and it was installed in early February.

when the AT&T tech did

that installation, he swapped out the pace router for the arris BGW210-700 router

and all hell broke loose.

For almost a month I had been trying to get that cascade working from the

BGW210-700 to the Nighthawk. I explored

Google,  mfgr docs,  i looked everywhere trying to find samples of how

to make it work.

from all I read it should have worked but I couldn't get it to

It was at this point that I decided to appeal to the users on  the fedora 

list and several gentlemen

were kind enough to help me  clear the mist from my path as it were.

 for a while we tried to get the cascading to work with no joy.  I decided to bite the bullet pull

 the nighthawk out of the loop and just live with the AT&T router

The next couple of weeks I moved old router lan clients to the new router topology.

 I got my lan clients moved over, I also got the static IP visible to the world but still I

could not connect the internet to my web server.

The last clue in the puzzle came from port examining from firewalls out to the Internet

why was I not connecting??

 I found this nifty tool in the world from some company called getsignal . it would look at

your ports from the outside and tell you their status. so I keyed in HTTP and Https ports and

sure enough from the Internet they were blocked

At this point all that remained was to use the port mapping and service creation on the

AT&T router to map the external wan side ports to the lan web server and  it worked.

I renewed my letsencrypt certs and I am on down the road.

i even got my 'A' from my qualys ssl test! {Yeah}

Once again thanks to all that assisted me on this horrendous ride

but it's working now thank you again very much

Is the solution easy to describe?
