The NAT has 2 ethernet cards, one to a PUBLIC ETHERNET and the other to our LOCAL ETHERNET (192.168.etc...) The natd has been setup with the "-redirect_port" option so that a certain port on the NAT PUBLIC INTERFACE gets redirected to a server on our LOCAL ETHERNET therefore giving our server a PUBLIC ADDRESS/PORT. The problem occurs when a P.C. on the LOCAL ETHERNET tries to access the SERVER on the LOCAL ETHERNET by way of its PUBLIC ADDRESS/PORT. The NAT seems to deny packets. It is absolutely necessary that I can get natd to do this. Accessing the SERVER via it's local address in an unacceptable solution. Can ANYONE help ??? ---------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
