      The ps2 is actually a edge router with no firewall. When I sniff on the pfsense wan interface I see the traffic.

      when I sniff on the 50 meg interface I don't see any of the traffic .

          Sure looks like you sent and got answers back to me.. From that sniff.

          Maybe its him sending you back a RST.. If its not working

                  Not sure why your seeing dups? But you see the syn and the syn,ack

                  So something is answering ;)

                  Where exactly are you sniffing.. You clearly have dups there..

                  Oh those are not dupes - those are 2 different sessions.

                      Those are not dupes - you have dual sessions there... See the seq number and the source ports.

                        On the edge router - because I never see the packets make it to the web server.

                            That is a very good question. After looking at the edge router there are some port forwarding for the wan interface for the same ports.

                            On Sunday I will delete all that port forwarding and try it again.

                              Lets us know how it turns out.. have to assume your forwarding the port to something else that is answering..

                              If just an router and not natting then there shouldn't be any forwards on it.. If its also firewalling - then should just be firewall rules allowing to stuff behind hit..

                              You sure its not natting? And just routing.
