I tried to set a Web server on the mesh but I can't get it to pass port 80 through the Bullet.  The service gets advertised OK but the port won't open.  I also tried the DMZ option but still nothing.  It works fine on the LAN.  Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?

Are you using NAT on the Bullet? John W3RC

You can try following my friend's steps (method I used) at http://www.qsl.net/bars click on MESH on the left side and then Servers. John W3RC

Thanks.  Their website didn't say whether they used a bullet or not so I sent them an email.

JJ- I'm running a Bullet on my server and my friend's using a Linksys on his. Same instructions work regardless of hardware. 73, John W3RC

I had a server running on my internet router with port forwarding and moved it over to the mesh and could not get it to work.  Did you have DHCP running?  I did not because I was running it into the LAN port of a router that DHCP running and I couldn't have both.

I tried to switch to 13 direct mode and bricked my bullet for the moment, so I can't try anything.

Right, dueling DHCP..burned myself on that when trying DTDLinking. And I should have known better too. In your case, do you need the router to do the DHCP work? I'd shut down DHCP on the router, let it be a L2 switch, and put the Bullet in NAT mode and let it be the DHCP server. Configuration would be directly thru the Bullet and seems to work pretty flawlessly, minus the fact you cannot see the mesh status screen thru a remote node. I can just remote into my server and view it locally, but it still seems weird to me. In my setup, I set my Bullet to NAT and have my server directly plugged into the PoE. It's just an XP Pro box running IIS and nothing else. Then set up the node accordingly under port forwarding, advertised services, etc. The Bullet is handling all my addressing and port rules. 73, John W3RC

Solved:

Set to 1 port direct and turned port forwarding off on the Bullet

Connected to WAN port on router and turned port forwarding on on the router.

Also make sure your service uses the reserved port name, not your mesh name.
