Your firewall rule is wrong.  It needs to allow from ANY source port to 2500
destination port.  The source port is random from the client and the port
that you want to open on the firewall is 2500.  When you redirect that to
port 80 using port forwarding, that is after it has already passed through
the firewall successfully.

It looks like you are using pfSense 1.2.x.  If you can update to one of the
2.0 release candidates (I don't know how updates work for the
Netgate-branded version), it has a feature that will automatically create
the proper firewall rule when you forward a port.
