Hi Guys,

I have recently installed a FreeBSD firewall (Has a = Public=20 IP address), with
a mail server sitting behind it, linked through to = the=20 internet via a leased
line (router) sitting in Hong Kong. An user = connected=20 to these machines
(which have a private IP address) is trying to get=20 connected to the a server
(Has a Private IP address) located in China = via a=20 router connected to the
Hong Kong site belonging to the same=20 company.

I can ping to the router in China, but cannot get though = to the=20 China server
(Host unreacheable).

Does the router located in = China=20 need to be configured to accept this public
IP address (firewall) = before I=20 can get through to the China server?

I would appreciate any=20 help.

Thanks!

Wai-Man
