      Hi.
      I'm Norwegian, so I'm sorry if my English is bad.
      Well, we can begin with..

      I had m0n0wall at my box before, and an IP-Telephone-box.
      I used NAT to forward port 4100 (IP-Telephone port) to 192.168.1.6.

      This worked, I could call to others, and recieve calls from others.
      But when I installed pfSense instead of m0n0wall, and tried to use NAT, it doesn't work.
      I checked the setup, and it's the same in m0n0wall as in pfSense.

      Does someone know?

        Which version of m0n0wall did you come from? Earlier versions didn't rewrite the source port on NATed traffic (though the newest version does), as we do by default. That causes problems with some protocols.
        http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Static_Port

        Aside from that, may want to look here:
        http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Port_Forward_Troubleshooting

        NAT and rules function exactly the same for inbound NAT, with the above mentioned difference with older m0n0wall versions for outbound NAT. One other thing to consider is the usual when switching firewall hardware, especially if you have multiple public IPs you need to ensure your upstream router's ARP cache is cleared. If you only have one public IP and general web browsing and other things work, that's not the issue.
