It took me a while to get this working because I had to find out by tr= ial and error that the interface to forward packets through is NOT the inte= rface connected to the Internet as the documentation suggests, but rather, = is the interface connected to my private network. My final nat command string is: /sbin/natd -redirect_port tcp 10.13.55.4:3389 3389 -n em1 where em0 is connected to the Internet, em1 is connected to my private netw= ork, and I want to forward incoming RDP traffic destined for my public faci= ng IP to 10.13.55.4. The documentation suggests that I should be using my = Internet facing interface (em0), but this doesn't work. The documentation = I am looking at is at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/hand= book/network-natd.html. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
