The simple answer probably is, If you have a NAT firewall (like a linksys, netgear, dlink, etc) it will not work.
If your linux machine is directly connected follow the instructions on the wiki and it will work no problems. I could not get FWD to work at all until I made my linux box the outside edge of my network. Scott ----- Original Message ----- From: "James H.
