      Hi

      I'm having a couple of issues setting up what should be a relatively simple NAT setup on pfsense 2

      I have one main WAN address 1.1.1.1

      I then have a block of 16 IP's that come in on 1.1.2.2/1.1.2.3 etc etc

      I have the following LANS -

      10.0.0.0 (main lan)
      10.1.1.1 (other lan)
      10.2.2.2 (DMZ lan)

      I'm trying to do 1:1 NAT on my external IP's to the second LAN.  I've added in my external IP's as Virtual IP's, I've done a 1:1 nat from 1.1.2.2 to 10.1.1.50.  Once that is active I can then ping the external IP.

      I put a firewall rule in to allow all TCP traffic for testing.  When I scan the external IP from and external connection using nmap it shows the usual windows IIS ports open…however I cannot access port 80 at all...

      Is there something simple I'm missing here?

      Thanks in advance

        i should add that nmap shows the ports that are opened are in a filtered state…

          Where did you do your scan from?
          Actually from the outside or from within your network?
          Then this would apply: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Why_can%27t_I_access_forwarded_ports_on_my_WAN_IP_from_my_LAN/OPTx_networks%3F

              Could you show a screenshot of your firewall rules?

                www alias is set for LAN client 10.0.0.50
                wwwports alias is ports 80 and 443

                nat is a 1:1 mapping from external IP (removed from screenshot) to internal LAN IP

                Virtual IP has also been setup…

                thanks for the assistance

                  ok, sorry for the fuss, turns out my ISP was blocking port 80 DESPITE having a high level business connection!

                  a FYI for the future if nmap shows your ports as being filtered this could be as a result of ISP level port blocking!

                  thanks for the help! :-)
