Zonet ZSR1104WE Router problem

Zonet ZSR1104WE Router does not report inbound connections with their WAN ip address. All inbound connections are posted as the routers LAN address. This issue is a simple one. The ZSR1104WE router with the listed firmware / hardware will not report an inbound TCP/IP connections WAN address. We host a service that uses port 443 @ 192.168.1.2 that is forwarded through the routers NAT firewall. Lets say an inbound connection from 24.156.189.3 establishes a socket connection to the service on port 443. Our services IP logging tool and Windows XPPro SP1 netstat command line utility will not report the WAN address of this connection. Instead the LAN IP address of the router will be reported as the inbound connections address. It is analogous to NAT in reverse. All inbound connections are masked as the router's LAN IP address. Our service and some other tools discriminate security rights depending on whether the connection is from the WAN or LAN, this behavior makes that impossible. The connection will behave normally. However I speculate that it is using the MAC address to get the routing correct. I have contacted their support to inform them of this error and their response is to not fix it as it does not break the connection. -Jason Wachtel Zonet ZSR1104WE Hardware Version Rev.
