![]() ![]() ![]() My own logic tells me the router should "route" or NAT the specific port request from the outside to the MAC address where I have the service, and not to the IP. However apparently the router sometimes "identifies" a device by its MAC, and other times by its local IP. I have been told by colleagues that if you let DHCP assign the IP to the device, the specific NAT rule will eventually fail, as the DHCP server on the router will, over time, change the assigned local IP, invalidating the NAT port link-which is to the local IP, not to the MAC (physical) address of the device.īased on this information my practice has been to use a static IP for any services behind the router that are to be accessed from outside. ![]() I would like to have the DHCP server assign addresses to the services, but at the same time, use NAT to point to the services. I mention the specific router model just to have a reference, but the question goes in general as I may need to use this programming with different routers. I would like to set up NAT to put a service on internet using my Technicolor TG 582 router.
