Network scheme listed below:



1:1 NAT

Task: Ping Server from the local network (172.19.1.30) by Public IP: 99.99.99.99.



Internet is working, 

When I ping it from my Laptop I got "Request timed out" error.

Source IP: 172.19.1.30
Dest IP:  99.99.99.99

Policy rules added with maximum rights allowed from anywhere to the server IP 172.19.0.21.

I tried packet capture on 172.19.0.21 server, and I see packets from my laptop, but it comes from 172.19.99.2 IP, therefore NAT is working:



Seems ZyWall does not revert back the original source IP address (172.19.1.30) to the packet and not resend it back to my Laptop according to static route? Is this design restrictions?

When I ping it from HP router ping is successful.

For any directly connected to ZyWall network, it works perfectly, but for Network, which needs to be routed it doesn't work.

    Hi @IlyaTaskaev

    Which firmware is working on your ZyWALL110?

    Can you capture the ICMP packets on interface 172.19.99.2?

    Stanley, thank you for your reply!

    >Can you capture the ICMP packets on interface 172.19.99.2?
    I think ZyWall have the ability to capture traffic, I need to try it.

    My Firmware Version: V4.20(AAAA.2) / 2016-11-22 19:04:14, not latest, but, do you think it can affect NAT?
