Hi guys, me again sorry. Still having teething trouble with my IPfilter firewall and NAT router.
Seems that Direct Connect, a filesharing program you may well have heard of, is not working properly. It is making it's TCP connections and redirects it appears, but then when I start a download it just sits there and no file transfer is happening. At first i thought it was the firewall but it appears not to be because I used a default pass all ruleset and it still didn't work. Now with my adsl modem hooked up direct to this machine it works fine so it has to be the redirects. here is my ipnat ruleset: map pppoe0 192.168.0.0/24 -> 0/32 proxy port 21 ftp/tcp mssclamp 1452 map pppoe0 192.168.0.0/24 -> 0/32 portmap tcp/udp 10000:60000 mssclamp 1452 map pppoe0 192.168.0.0/24 -> 0/32 mssclamp 1452 # Direct connect rdr pppoe0 202.76.166.28/32 port 411 -> 192.168.0.1 port 411 tcp/udp rdr pppoe0 202.76.166.28/32 port 412 -> 192.168.0.1 port 412 tcp/udp rdr pppoe0 202.76.166.28/32 port 413 -> 192.168.0.1 port 413 tcp/udp rdr pppoe0 202.76.166.28/32 port 1081 -> 192.168.0.1 port 1081 tcp/udp I'm currently using port 1081 as my direct connect port but it doesn't make a difference which of the 4 options I choose. What is the best way to troubleshoot this? the redirects appear correct. The firewall is configured to allow those ports through with: pass in quick on pppoe0 proto tcp from any to any port = 1081 keep state pass in quick on pppoe0 proto udp from any to any port = 1081 keep state and they are the second set of rules in my list, and the ones above are also pass in rules. but then no packets are being logged while I am trying to download these files. ipnat -l is showing redirects in action on port 1081 but still files are not going through Any help as usual will be appreciated :) Andy
