I feel like I am taking crazy pills, but this is what I am doing.
I have ESXI 6.5 running two VM's one is a windows server and another is linux fedora
I have port forwarding working to the Windows Server but the Linux server never see's the packets. I am positive I have my port forwarding setup correctly.
My question is is there any reason/way that I could have munged up port forwarding via settings in the VmWare? The packets are never even seen by the linux server, unless if I do it locally.
So any ideas of how I can debug this further? The Linux Server was originally a 5.5 import, but I am assuming that wouldn't change much. iptables & firewallD are disabled on the server as well.
So .. just for organizations sake. Everything for ESXI is defaults, I didn't do anything crazy.
Router:
Port forward 8082 to VServer1 (linux) (Trace shows NO packets with port 8082) unless if I do it within the local network
Port forward 3389 to VServer2 (windows) (WORKS!)
ESXi6.5
VServer 1 (Linux)
VServer 2 (Window Server)
* I rechecked the router port forwarding settings (thinking this was the culprit) but its definitely working to Vserver2 and opening ports on the router when I check from the outside.
* I checked fedora thinking it was blocking but no firewall is up.. also I'm not seeing the packets come in from the outside
