Actually in the real system I am trying to forward a port from an external address (on the internet, the address I hid) to an internal RDP server (port 3389 tcp) ... but for testing I forwarded to an internal IMAP server
iprb0 is the external interface, bge0 is the internal. I added bge0 to see if it was a problem with my external connection. I enabled the telnet server on the local machine and used ipnat to redirect 143 to 23 and that worked ... I was just surprised that I couldn't connect to any port on another host. Anyway, to cut your explanation down, you are basically saying that I cannot do "port forwarding" with ipnat?
