  • Wrong source IP address on main portal

    Posted by JPSelter on January 12, 2010 at 14:30

    When logging onto Pandora there is a source IP shown, but it´s not the IP address of my client nor of the server. It says 10.2.10.6 instead of 10.2.40.97. The first address belongs to our firewall. When typing ipconfig/ifconfig on client/server there is no entry for the firewall´s IP address. So where does it get this address?

    Shows IP address of your firewall probably because transparent Proxy or Source NAT doing in your network. That’s a very normal behaviour in modern networks.
