Firewall Wizards: Re: FreeBSD 4.9 ipfw natd -- Port Forwarding

[Adam Humphrey <hump () casualritual com>]

I tried the ipfw fwd command as well with no success.  It was forwarding the
packets perfectly but they were still addressed to the outside IP address of
my freeBSD server and my internal web server was dropping them because they
were not addressed to its IP.

Thanks for the help.

Regards,

Adam
