Hello everyone,
I'm not an expert in networking, I'm having trouble with a configuration.
We are an association. An Ethernet network with a server. A Business Livebox is connected to this server.
A computer from a remote sales point is at a different physical address, in another establishment, connected to the Internet.
We want this computer (so its IP and only this one) to connect to our server on a specific port (3306), but the connection is impossible. The server has no firewall: so it's the Business Livebox that needs to be configured.
I can't create a rule that works in the Business Livebox settings to open port 3306 only for the IP of the remote computer.
Can someone help me? Should I do port forwarding or a specific rule that I can't seem to set up?
Thank you for your answers and detailed instructions, as I'm desperate since Monday.
Jérôme

Hi Jérôme,
If I understand correctly, you have a remote computer connected behind its own box that you want to communicate with your computer behind your own box (which is a Livebox Pro)!
So you need to do 2 things. First, in the internal firewall of the Livebox, you will have to set up port forwarding.
The problem is that apparently you know the port to redirect but not the protocol; you need to know whether it's port 3306 TCP or 3306 UDP, as it’s not the same for your box.
A priori, if I'm not mistaken, port 3306 is used for MySQL, so it would be 3306 TCP.
You then forward 3306 TCP to 3306 TCP of the IP address of your server.
Next, you need to create a rule in the firewall of your Livebox to only allow one source IP, that of the remote computer (however, be careful; if, as I believe, the remote computer is connected behind a box, it's the IP address of the box that you need to allow!)
To do all this, I think the best thing is for you to follow this well-made image guide! Check out the sections on firewall configuration and port forwarding

Thank you very much for your response.
Here is what I did, but that doesn't work:
Port forwarding on the Livebox of the server:
Source port Destination port
"REMOTE_POST_IP" - Other TCP 3306 - 3306 -
"LIVEBOX_IP" - Other TCP 3306 - 3306 -
And in the firewall:
Source port Destination port Source IP Destination IP
LAN to Internet - TCP 3306 3306 "REMOTE_POST_IP" "LIVEBOX_IP"
Did I do it correctly? Because the connection is still not working... Thanks again.

Hi,
if I understand correctly what you wrote, there is a mistake.
you put in the port forwarding
source port destination port
"REMOTE_POST_IP" - Other TCP 3306 - 3306 -
"LIVEBOX_IP" - Other TCP 3306 - 3306 -
you need to put
source: TCP port 3306
destination: "MYSQL SERVER IP" TCP port 3306
I hope this will work
bye!
