linux Server not working behind NAT'd Sonciwall firewall


I have a linux box using apache that was working normally.

I had to install a sonic wall firewall using NAT

I configured the firewall for one to one NAT

I also have to two windows boxes behind the firewall

The one to one NAT works on the windows boxes without any issues

I changed the IP address of the Linux box from an external IP to an Internal IP

I can ping the linux box from inside the firewall. The FW, and the two Windows boxes can see the Linux box, and I can do anything with the linux box from inside the firewall.

However, the NAT'd packets seem to be droped by the linux box.

I can not ping or address the linux web server or do anything from out side the fire wall.

I have tried to switch the IP's around - I used the ip's on the windows boxes that work and tried them on the linux box. no go.

I think that the Linux box is dropping the packets because they are NAT'd.

NAT hides the net behind your NAT box from the outside
you need to forward the needed port(s) through your sonicwall
