For the time being (and mostly for testing purposes) I want to run the internal and external addresses on the same physical wire. When I've managed to get the entire thing running, and running well I plan to move the FBSD box directly between the P130 and the internet. I still however can't figure out why I'm having problems accessing the box from the internal network. As usual, any help is much appreciated. Thanks again.
