      Hello,

      Why don't you just paste the screen shots of your nat/rules? That makes stories very much straight and easy.

      cheers,

          The field for "External address" should be set to 'interface IP' on all rules. Most of your entries don't show anything (colum: NAT IP:  (ext.: 66.77.88.99) )
          And delete the last rule, it is double.

            Hi.

            Oh well, indeed. The rules for port forwarding, you must need to set EXT IP for your WAN interface as jahonix pointed out.

            cheers,

                Isn't THAT exactly your problem?  ???
                When editing the rule you have to set the field to the drop down entry "External address". Then the IP change is handled for you. Automagically…

                    As you see in the first picture you posted, in the NAT IP column there were no entries for (ext.: )
                    or wrong entries (ext.: any)

                    Set them to 'interface address' and it should work for you as well.
                    In the overview page the brackets must be automatically filled with your currently assigned IP then.

                        Which version of pfSense are you using?
                        Embedded or full install?

                            There's much more decent version(s) available.

                              I seem to remember that there were PPPoE problems in an early 1.2 version.
                              Update to 1.2-release or one of the 1.2.1RCs and see if your problem goes away is my best bet.
