      Can you do a numeric one instead?  This was on the LAN?

        Yup. This was on LAN.

        Here's another one in numeric.

          Okay, I am seeing the inbound SYN and the server is sending back SYN/ACK, and the sender is retrying with backoff which all looks good.  The question is why the SYN/ACK is not getting to the remote host.  Looking at your NAT and Rules, I note they are for the WAN side only.  Can you post your LAN rules and outbound (if any) NAT?

            I've only 1 NAT-rule:
            If   Proto   Src. addr   Src. ports   Dest. addr   Dest. ports   NAT IP   NAT Ports   Description

            [Firewall rule ID is managed with this rule] WANB TCP * * WANB address 25 (SMTP) 192.168.2.16 25 (SMTP) NAT SMTP

            and my LAN-rules are as mentioned in my post of Reply #20

              That is the inbound NAT rule - you have no outbound one?  Can you post /tmp/rules.debug?

                Nope. This is the only NAT-rule!
                When i'm back home I'll post the /tmp/rules.debug

                Is the LAN-rule not enough? Everything is allowed to go outside.  ???

                *    LAN net    *    *    *    *    none        Default allow LAN to any rule

                  There are rules that can be added invisibly to what you see in the GUI.

                      I think this is the problem?

                      # Gateways
                      GWWANB = " route-to ( em0 192.168.1.254 ) " <==== this looks bogus!
                      GWGW_WANA = " route-to ( em2 94.209.232.1 ) "
                      GWGW_OPT1 = "  "
                      
                      

                      You seem to have defined the WANB gateway with the internal IP address.  The WANA GW is correct, I think.

                        That's the address of my ADSL router (192.168.1.254 my internal range is 192.168.2.xxx) which is configured in 'bridge-mode'
                        All other traffic from 192.168.2.16, like a finger to flush the bSMTP from my provider, or traceroute goes correctly over WANB.
                        I'll do a reset to factory defaults and try to set it up again from bottom up. This it's also not working. at least I can try is too do it over from fact default.
                        I'll keep you posted!

                          Ah, okay.  I am confused.  If the ADSL router has a different subnet on each interface, why do you say it is in bridge mode?  If it were truly bridging, WANB would be a routable address, no?  What do you see if you do a trace on WANB while doing this?

                            Hi dans…. Sorry for the late response. Was a bit busy last days.
                            Made a complete clean install. 1st created only WAN and LAN interface.
                            LAN - 192.168.2.254
                            WANA - DHCP
                            after upgrade configured WANB - DHCP
                            When i look on my dashboard it says that WANA is online and WANB, with gateway 'dynamic' (?????), is offline.
                            See screenshot.
                            I've done nothing else then only configured WANB with DHCP.
                            Did I something wrong?

                              you didn't answer my question :(  you seem to think the adsl modem is in bridge mode, but obviously it isn't, since you originally had two different subnets, one on each side of the modem.  can you really set it to bridged mode and try again?

                                Oh sorry. Yes it's realy set in bridge mode.
                                The old setting was when it was not in bridge-mode and I forgot to remove the old setting.

                                  Are you sure the WANB provider is DHCP?  It's odd you're now not getting an address…

                                    Since I'm using this provider (about 6 years) it has always been DHCP.
                                    And when your looking on the image I've also received my own address at WANB.
                                    On my old firewall's that I've used in the years (WatchGuard and IPCop) it worked always.

                                      I know pfsense DHCP WAN works, so continually mentioning ipcop and whatever is not helpful.  Since your WANB is not getting an address, you must have set it up wrong?

                                        Well… if your looking to the screenshot, you'll see that I received the address on WANB! The only question is where is my gateway  ;D

                                          Sorry, I meant an address for the gateway.  That should happen automatically for a DHCP WAN connection.  It certainly does for mine.  The previous screenshot showed the dynamic gateway that was offline, is what I was referring to.  I wonder if you have some junk left over from before?

                                            I think not. It was a clean install. But I'll put the modem back in routed mode. Only point is that I need to configure incoming services at two places. (the modem and in pfSense)
