Hm.. I think you have a few things backwards. after -L needs to be the
outside IP for the ipmasq server and the port on that server. After -R
needs to be the internal network address of the box you're forwarding to.
However, for the forwarding to work, you have to connect to it by the
outside IP that you gave it. I'm not sure why, but if you're inside the
internal network and try to access the portforwarded stuff (using the
outside IP) it will just sit there and won't connect. This seems to be a
bug, but shouldn't be a problem if you're already inside the network.
