      Okay.  New to the board, but I've been running a pfSense box for a little under 6 months.  Recently had to do a re-build, and now cannot get iChat to work save my life.  I am an avid Mac user (won't change), and use iChat for many different things (talking to wife while away, talking to family, etc).  My issue is, I cannot seem to get the pfSense NAT/Firewall to work with it.

      I'm running 1.2.3 Release (if I need to upgrade, I will), and have the Advanced Outbound NAT rule with the Static option selected.
      I have also gone into the Firewall rules and created the different rules for the different ports used by iChat (Found on Apple's website).
      So I'm deeply confused.  As far as I can remember, this is exactly what I did to make it work last time.  Now it won't connect.  Any help?

      Here is a screenshot of my log.  Don't mind the black lines.

          I'm currently using 2.0rc3.

          So this advice is "tailored" for 2.0 try to convert it to 1.2.3 if needed any adjusting.

          1. Create port alias

          • add there these ports: 5060, 5190, 5220, 5222, 5223, 5297, 5298, 5353, 5678, 16384-16403(awful lot of ports at my point of view)
            2. Create a rule on wan
          • pass tcp/udp source any source port any destination wan-address(or use portforwards to get interenal addresses) destination port your newly created alias gateway any logging none
            3. Apply changes and try
