For problems such as can't resolve an internal webpage from outside your
network try this:

Check 4 things once you are sure your DNS is resolving correctly:

1) are there RDR statements in your ipnat.conf file
2) are the pass statements for those ports in your ipf.conf file
3) is ipforwarding on
4) is there a services properly configured on the machines behind the
firewall that are listening on the ports in the RDR clauses.

For problem such as clients inside your network failing to be able to see
the outside world, try the following:

1) make sure your ipnat.conf file has portmap and map clauses set up
2) make sure ipforwarding is on
3) make sure your block statements aren't preventing the traffic (log them
and review the logs to see what rule might be breaking it)

For both, make sure ipforwarding is on. A quick test to see if this is the
issue, try connecting to a service running on the box from both inside and
outside the network. If you succeed both times, but still can't get
packets to traverse through the machine. This is probably the problem.
Review the How-To listed on the homepage for syntax of the statements
above and verify they're correct.
