Hi!
I have a two virtual machines inside of my virtual environment based on one ESXi host - one is Firewall and second is an ordinary server with running some services on em.
I have three physic network cards on ESXi host and in vSphere client I set up them like this: two of them inside one virtual switch (LAN) and one is inside another vSwitch (WAN). And of course two virtual network cards (WAN and LAN) I assigned to Firewall VM and one (LAN) I assignet to another ordinary server. Firewall host have white static IP adress on WAN virtual network card wich is, of course, watch to the Internet.
What I need to do:
Forward some ports from Firewall host to ordinary server. a.w. if I refer to this white IP adress (configured on WAN) from the Internet (for example over 8080 port)- Firewall will forward me to another server inside my LAN.
Problem is:
It doesn't work! ...
when I refer from my local physical computer, wich have the same IP address range like a my virtual LAN, to the Firewall - it work perfectly (in the rules of Firewall application I configured : if 'From'->LAN&WAN 'To'-> Firewall host 'Over'->8080 port number 'Map to' -> ordinary VM server) - but if I do same thing from Internet - it didn't give me response.
It is strange- because I can normally use Firewall host like a default gateway for my LAN members hosts. And as I know this means that the relationship between the LAN and the WAN network is presented.
Please help me resolve this problem, I think that a solution is very easy and somewhere near..
Thank you in advance!
