OK, I understand now. Thank you. I can browse to my IP and see my local web-server from my VPS. The reason I point this out is because when I had my linksys (WRT54G) in place, I could navigate to http://my_ip:2500/~chris/.... and it would work just as if I was external, but that isn't working now. Was this some automagical configuration of the Linksys? (which btw was running DD-WRT) Or do I need to enable some kind of configuration w/i pfSense for this to work? -- > Chris Brennan > -- > A: Yes. > >Q: Are you sure? > >>A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. > >>>Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? > http://xkcd.com/84/ | http://xkcd.com/149/ | http://xkcd.com/549/ > GPG: D5B20C0C (6741 8EE4 6C7D 11FB 8DA8 9E4A EECD 9A84 D5B2 0C0C) ------------------------------------------------------------------------
