      Hello!

      I thought this used to work (maybe in 1.2.1?) but currently port forwarding isn't working for me anymore.

      Setup: Basic NAT firewall with WAN and LAN. WAN is a static ip.  My laptop has a static ip inside the LAN.

      I have set up port forwarding both manually and via UPnP (using this tool: http://www.codingmonkeys.de/portmap/).

      Using this on my laptop:
      laptop$ nc -l -p 49662

      I can connect to it via localhost:
      laptop$ echo hi | nc localhost 49662

      I can connect to it via my pfSense shell:

      echo hi | nc ip-of-laptop 49662

      But when I try from outside my firewall it doesn't work:
      externalhost$ echo hi | nc ip-of-wan 49662
      (UNKNOWN) [[i]ip-of-wan] 49662 (?) : Connection timed out

      Running tcpdump on the wan interface during the last command shows:

      tcpdump -n -i fxp0 port 49662

      tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
      listening on fxp0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes

      Is there something I'm missing here?

      Ciao!</mss></mss></mss>
