weird router internet sessions

hello all,

i was looking at my routers internet sessions and it looks like this

Code:

Local                        NAT                     Internet       Protocol     State      Dir   PriorityTimeout 
my lan ip here          mypublicip here             internet ip      TCP/UDP 

also shows public
ip in local column
which is the same
as the NAT column
public IP address
(normal or not?) 

as you can see in the "local column", it shows my lan ip address which is normal, but i realized that some of the IP addresses in the "Local column" show the Public Ip address also. is this normal?

i thought local meant only the ip address of your LAN network. so why is it showing my public ip address which should be only shown in the "NAT" column?

 

sorry about the poor thread layout. i guess it doesnt look the same as when your creating the post.

what i mean is that under the Local column, it shows my public ip address as well as my LAN ip address.

isnt Local just suppose to list your LAn ip address?

 

anyone?

 

bump again.....in the local column it shows my wan ip address as well as my lan ip address. thought local was suppose to only show your private ip.

 

I don't want to come across the wrong way but there might be another reason besides not knowing the answer that you haven't got any replies in weeks.

especially "Describe, clearly and concisely, how your problem shows itself"

 

thanks to lowwatermark for editng my original post to show the columns. i think its more clear now since the columns shows properly now

 

sorry for not explaining clearly. ill try my best to explain what i mean.

in my original post, under the "Local" column, it shows my LAN ip address(private) as well as my WAN ip address(public). i thought under the "Local" column, its suppose to only show your LAN ip address, but for me, it also shows the WAN ip address as well.

and in the "NAT" column, it shows the WAN ip address(public)

are these normal internet sessions?

 

Where are you seeing this, in the web interface of your router? What brand/firmware does the router have?

 

yes sorry to mention that. yea, im seeing this in my router settings page.

i have a d link dir 655

 

not sure what more information i can give you guys to explain what i mean but ill try again

here is a pic i found on google images. the router is a d link 825 in this picture but its the same in the dir 655.

note: this is not my picture i just found it on google.

for me in the Local column it shows mostly all LAN p addresses, butt there are a few WAN ip addresses in the local column as well. i thought local just mean your lan ip address.is it normal to have your wan ip address in the local column as well as in the NAT column?

 

bumppp

 

Try d link customer service, it's a really specific question and apparently no one here on wilders has seen anything like it.
Good luck

 

hey Katio thx for the suggestion, but I doubt it's a d link problem or if it s problem at all. But I'm just wondering why it also shows a few wan ip addresses in the local column. Thought local only meant LAN ip addreses.

Did you take a look at the picture in post #10?
