Surely that means that your address translation *is* working ? 1. If it were not, the remote web server would not be able to establish a connection. 2. The external address of the firewall is the address you would expect to be coming from when yu use the SNAT rule. 3. If you are running a Perl script, I assume that means that a TCP 3-way handshake has been completed, which means the web server has successfully been able to send packets back to your client. > I can not find the problem.

Surely you do not mean that if you remove the POSTROUTING rule, you can still connect to a remote web server and have a Perl script tell you your source address ??? Maybe you can explain a little more for me ? Antony.
