      My connection:

      DSL modem - pfsense box - switch - computer

      What exactly do i put in nat ip?  My router gateway?  My DHCP lease address?  WAN/LAN address that i assigned to it?

        Which device are you configuring?
        What are you trying to do?

            You really need to give a lot more information about your setup.
            How is the DSL modem configured. Is it doing any NAT? bridge? What IP's do you have where. Is 192.168.1.130 the IP of the computer to which you want to forward the ports?

              yea sorry, ignore the 192.168.130

              I'm using DSL PPPOE connection.  My DSL modem is in bridge mode, not sure if i was doing nat,firewall was turned off on it but i was able to open ports easily on wrt54g from linksys' gui.
              The assigned LAN address i have is 192.168.1.2
              I gave my computer a static DHCP license with the address 192.168.1.25
              wan ip is 67.55.16.152  
              gateway is 67.55.16.1

                Ok.
                Then this is simple:
                1: Go to "Firewall –> NAT" and click on the "+"
                2: Interface: "WAN"
                External address: "Interface Address" (NOT any)
                Protocol: Select the protocol you're using
                External Port Range: Set whatever port you connect to from the internet
                NAT IP: Set the IP of the server you want to connect to (in your case probably 192.168.1.25)
                Local Port: Set here the same as you set under "external port range" (unless you want to remap the port(s))

                We do what we must, because we can.

                  thanks a lot.  It turns out the wrt54G than i have on opt1 bridge with my lan is causing the ports to not forward properly.

                  guess ill try to make the ap work without bridging.
