Re: Mobile broadband and CCTV

[Tim Hawes <timsyahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Nigel - just the pointer I needed.
Somehow I'd configured the port forwarding to only be applied to WAN1

A quick change and all is working now. So much for 3 tech support telling
me they "do not supporting port forwarding"...

Thanks for the nudge!

Tim.
