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
