Ok, need to get some brains on this little problem, as mine's not working any more...

I have signed up to Big Pipe VDSL offering. I bought myself a Draytek Vigor DV130, which works wonderfully.

I have now connected it up to my Netgear D6300 Router via the LAN port, using the recommended PPPoE Passthru settings, and configured the Netgear to 'dial out'. All works great for general internet access. No problems here.

However, when I want to run a server behind the Netgear router (say, a Minecraft server on port 255xx), the port appears to be blocked.

Looking at the internet settings on the Netgear, the ISP supplied IP address is different to the one on the Vigor modem. Confusing, as I thought in this passthrough mode, the Vigor acted as a dumb modem and just passed along the IP address to the Nertgear router? I'm assuming this is the problem, as any inbound traffic is being stopped at the modem.

Any ideas how I can get the Netgear port forwarding through the Vigor to the outside world? The images below show the current settings on the Draytek Vigor and Netgear router.

If anyone can shed any light on this, it would much appreciated!

(Both devices have the latest firmware installed)

As an aside, when I used to connect to an ADSL service directly with the Netgear router, the port forwarding worked flawlessly. No changes have been made on this router, other than the internet settings to get it to work with the new Draytek Vigor.
