      Then it's a problem with your advanced NAT rules. Do you need it for some reason? If not, just disable it and your problem goes away.

        Changed to normal NAT.
        Still same problem though.

        Very odd.

          Is there be anything special with that leased line?

          10.58.202./24 comes in via a leased line through a router with IP 10.58.112.1

          maybe do some trace with pftop or tcpdump ( just a though )

            Yeah it's time to start capturing packets and seeing what's really happening.

                Tried some TCPDUMP. Not really sure what to look for though.

                The thing I find strange is that I'm able to ping hosts on the remote subnet from the pfsense box.
                And the pfsense box also replies to pings from the remote subnet.
                Feels like the data is flowing like it should in our internal network.
                It just doesn't let me do nat for that subnet.

                  In the Webgui Diagnostics: Show States I see
                  ICMP 10.58.202.21:512 -> external-ip:35350 -> external-gw 0:0
                  ICMP external-gw:512 <- 10.58.202.21 0:0
                  when I try to ping from the host on the remote subnet to our ISP gateway.
                  This should indicate that NAT is working like it should right?

                    to check for a dns problem you could do something like this.

                    from shell tcpdump -i if2 dst port 21

                    from a client ftp://204.152.184.73/

                    By that your can see what happens on IF2 when you logon to a ftpserver

                    –--------------------------------------

                    http://your-pfsense-ip/status.php

                    you might find something under pfctl

                      Tried some 1:1 NATing.
                      Worked like a charm for all our subnets except the remote subnet which we have the trouble with.
                      Starting to think that there must be something fishy with the router thats handling that subnet.

                      More info later.

                        Hi Perry,

                        Here's the result after dumping it to a file and then importing it into Etherreal.

                        dump.gif

                          did you try searching in http://your-pfsense-ip/status.php for 10.58.202.21 or 204.152.184.73 after the test, there must be some info there telling us what happens  ::)

                          your can also use
                          Diagnostics -> Packet Capture
                          to trace ip's

                              For me it looks like it nat's to the wan instead of going out

                              tcp    In  10.58.202.21:3530      127.0.0.1:8021        external_ftp:21
                              should be
                              tcp    In  10.58.202.21:3530      127.0.0.1:8021        204.152.184.73:21

                              but since your running nat1:1 i could be completely wrong on how it should look

                              I'll Better let the dev's step in now  ;)

                                1:1 NAT was only temporarily while testing.
                                Those rules were removed before getting this status. So it shouldn't do anything.
