      Thanks for your reply!  I tried it but doesn't seem to be working.  Is there anything else that needs to be changed?  Actually, its getting timed out.

          Don't use external adress "any". You need to bind it to the WAN-Adress. any is only for some special application (for example when redirectring traffic to any external adress on port x back to a proxy for example).

                Hi Hoba,

                I am also encountering issues with my NAT settings.  Can you please look at the attached settings?  Thank you.

                  The NAT entry looks ok from the first sight. If you have an appropriate firewallrule in place that is allowing this traffic it should work. Also make sure you are at 1.0.1.

                    What type of rule would allow visitors from the WAN to the OPT1 net with the host using the NAT I set above?

                      Interface WAN
                      protocol tcp/udp
                      source any
                      destination <private ip="" of="" forwarded="" client="">port <destination port="" at="" the="" client="">gateway default</destination></private>

                        i have the same itentical problem, except for…

                        i set 2 firewall rules:

                        prot: * from: * port: * to: 192.168.0.40 port: * gate: *    (windows machine)
                        prot: * from: * port: * to: 192.168.0.200 port: * gate: *    (linux machine)

                        so i'll be sure that i can transfer any packets from and to any ports to these 2 machines

                        now, i need to open only 1 or 2 single port to forward to, so i make a nat rule like this:
                        if: wan prot: tcp port: 4889 nat: 192.168.0.40 (ext: 2.247.bla.bla) port: 4889  (correctly WORK!!)
                        if: wan prot: tcp port: 4889 nat: 192.168.0.200 (ext: 2.247.bla.bla) port: 4889  (DON'T WORK!!)

                        So, why nat don't like to linux port forward???
