It can be a challenge to setup a WAP proxy behind a router. Not all routers that perform address translation can handle this.

The issue is that a WAP proxy uses UDP. UDP requests will come in over ports 9201 or 9200 (also 9203 or 9202 when WTLS is implemented). A WAP proxy receives UDP requests on these ports, and replies back from these ports.

When you configure a NAT (network address translation) router, UDP and TCP ports are usually configured separately. And like I say, not all NAT routers can handle this properly, but many can.

Good luck!
