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.

Isn't THAT exactly your problem? ???

My problem is

If the PPPoE connction is renew externalWAN ip of my system, then the ALL forwarding rules is doesn't work.

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?

Tib · Nov 6, 2008, 7:31 AM

I use pfSense-1.2-BETA-1 with full install, not embedded

nocer · Nov 6, 2008, 9:43 AM

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.
