Connecting to a server on the WAN connection

I'm trying to connect to a web server on the WAN connection from the mesh. That's not working. Thoughts?

Primary address 10.13.10.151 / 8
LAN address 10.104.84.185 / 29
WAN address 172.30.104.54 / 22
default gateway 172.30.104.1

From the mesh, I'm trying to connect to HTTP://172.30.105.1:8080 which is a station on the WAN network.
I can connect to public addresses, like HTTP://www.arrl.org 
Computers on the WAN network can connect to HTTP://172.30.105.1:8080

I'm trying to build private servers that the mesh can connect to, if the public Internet goes down.

Any thoughts?

Any reason that you are
Any reason that you are putting the server on the WAN rather than the LAN?  That would be the normal location for services that appear on the mesh.

What radio type are you using?  The important part of that is the Ethernet connector configuration.  Remember that in most cases, the WAN coming out of the node is VLAN tagged with VLAN 1 (horrible selection - but that's the way AREDN does it).  A direct connection to a non-VLAN aware device will not result in a valid connection.

I don't remember if you need to set up port forwarding in the node to get to WAN addresses, but that is a possibility as well.
