Thread:Project:Support desk/$wgServer question - Access OK locally but not remotely/reply (2)

Hi Ciencia,

Firstly many thanks for taking the time to look at my problem and, with your help, I've got the solution.

Reframing the question in terms of TCP issues really helped as I was able to look at my hardware/software chain and dig around.

The problem was my venerable old Netgear DG834G router - I recalled that some versions had some issues with firewall / NAT translation and a simple firmware upgrade fixed the problem immediately !

Many thanks for helping !

Martin
