NAT reflection from host with forwarded port

[mikeybs]

external IP = 1.2.3.4
internal IP = 192.168.1.2

I have NAT reflection enabled and port 1999 forwarded from PFSense router to internal IP

this works fine for a secondary host on the LAN, from host 192.168.1.3 I can

telnet 1.2.3.4 1999

and it connects

but this does not work from the host at internal IP, from host 192.168.1.2  I can not telnet successfully to 1.2.3.4 port 1999

Is there anyway to make this work?

weird…

it just started working.  I turned on NAT reflection but initially (as I described) it did not work from the host machine that the port was getting redirected to.  now it does.
