Router with loopback ?

[Steve]

Anyone know of any routers that allow loopback ?

The Netgear RP614v2 does, well with the firmware mine has anyway which is Netgear firmware but I don't know if they changed it in later versions.

I'm using firmware 5.20 _RC3NA Apr 23 2004 this firmware has the fix for the router hanging problem which affected this model.

I can connect to services on my network using my external IP address from networked machines with internal Ip addresses. I tested my FTP server like that recently and I can connect to my games server using the external IP addy from within the network. The router has the firewall on and is properly configured . I can tracert my own IP and see the UBR at the headend.

will look into this even more and report back here in a few days

again .... thanks for your help

you are saying all those allow loopback ?

reason i ask is that supliers i have contacted (and manufacturers) claim none of their routers support loopback yet you list quite a few.

ADDED: looked at a couple of this list and seems they do not have built in modem

A lot of routers support "loopback" of viewing web requests, but many don't support other requests.
It really depends on what you want to do exactly.

Is it an ADSL modem/router you need Steve?

yep ... unfortunately ... seems cable would be no problem but because need adsl that is where problem lies

think will give up as can't risk buying any in case doesn't support loopback
