Repeater refusing telnet sessions outside LAN

[fiasco]

I have a dyndns account for a dynamic URL and my router is set up to port forward to the RA repeater.

Previously I could telnet in through the internet with my control system (CF).

A recent update killed this. I can use the dynamic DNS address to telnet in within the LAN but not outside of the LAN. The router log shows the incoming request but the repeater doesn't respond.

Tried two different routers
port forwarding a different port to the RA telnet port
changing the repeaters IP address
putting a different device w/ an open telnet port and forwarding to that (works)

Does anyone have an older version of the RA software (2.0.9.21?) I could try out to see if it restores remote telnet?

found 0.9.21 but can't get it to let me select my repeater with the updated firmware.

Any one have any older versions of the RA software after .9.21?

I have
3.1.19
3.1.22
4.0.10

Any of these help?

I wouldn't mind trying out 3.1.19

Hi fiasco,

I bet the problem is not withing RadioRa at all. I'm new to the forums and i don't know if you solved this already, but this must be an issue within the router. The problem here is that dyndns resolves the dns host to your external IP address, not the internal one. On some routers, the port forwarding does work even if the connection is initiated from within the LAN, but on most routers it only works when a connection comes from the WAN port to the LAN.
