Built card server - but can only access local ips?

[mrdude]

I have built a smart card server to work on the latest Merlin firmware. It can connect to all my local ip addresses fine, but for some reason I can't access any or connect to any servers outside my LAN.

The server is running on 192.168.1.1 - on port 8080, (from the jffs folder) I tested the binary on another arm device and it works fine on them (connects outside the LAN), is there a firewall script I could add to let this program, or pid access traffic outside my LAN if I'm running it from the router? I assume there is as things like transmission are working fine on this router.

I have downloaded and compiled the latest Merlin source, added all my libraries i need, built the server to work on arm - this is my last hurdle so any help would be appreciated.

Add to firewall-start script and run or reboot router

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 8080 -j ACCEPT

Thanks, I found the problem wasn't a firewall issue - my card server is working fine if I put IP addresses in rather than a url.

I guess the router is not running a dns service, do you happen to know if there are any of those packages available?

Sure 192.168.1.1/Advanced_ASUSDDNS_Content.asp

No that's not what I meant, I already have that set up.

The card server can get local ip's and connect to them fine. When I try and connect the card server to a url like - something.org.com - it doesn't work - I need to put the ip address in of something.org.com - for the card server to connect.

Using the ip instead of the url proves the firewall is working ok - but the dns server on the router is not finding the ip address of the url.

The exact same binary works fine in my synology ds 212+ nas (arm processor), so I know my binary is fine.
