Timeout/Refusing/Slow Port 80 server connections when accessing LOCAL machine (inside) only.

Yesterday, AT&T replaced the 2wire with a motorola box. I have a port 80 web server on my machine and created a pin for this on the 2wire. No problem.  We doing this via the new router and the outside world can come in without delay, but from the inside, there seems to be some "middle ware" or "proxy" or some communications that is slowing it down. Using a local IP address is fine, but trying to access port 80 the new public IP router address on port 80 expected to forward to my local 192.168.1.4 machine seems to be proxied or something.  

Can someone help?   The web manager seems simple enough. I exhausted all I can do myself.

Thanks

Wow! No one has an answer.  Surely, I am not the only one with this issue.

@SilverXpress   Might try figuring it out w/this Arris/Moto 589 Manual:

Good luck 😉

The NVG Gateway does not provide NAT loopback functionality.  You will have to either:

  1. use the internal address internally and the external address externally,
  2. Set up hosts. entries for devices inside your network to use the internal IP address
  3. Acquire and connect your own router behind the gateway that has NAT loopback functionality.

Thank you. Do you think it is a functionality limitation or a setting that can be changed via a telnet config manager or something?  Seems like to be a primitive funtionality concept.  Why would AT&T replace a box with such limits?    Yes, I am temporarily using a HOSTS entry to an local IP address.

Indeed, thanks for the good luck! 🙂  I wasn't looking forward to be putting on my networking/admin hat, but I would like to know if I can figure out how to program/configure that box, would it correct the situation?  IOW, is it possible?   Is it a packet filtering rule I need to add?  Or some internal switch to enable NAT loopbacking?   Thanks in advance.
