BM 3.8
NW 6.5
GW 7.03

External Webaccess quit working. Browser appears to time out trying to
connect. Internally, Webaccess is working fine. External access has
been working fine for about 3 years.

Public IP for Webaccess is NAT'd to private Groupwise/Webaccess Netware
server IP.

Public MX record for Internet mail uses same Public IP and Groupwise
Internet mail is working fine both in and out.

No upgrades have been recently installed.

NAT set to dynamic and static.

Turned filters off and still does not work. I deleted and reinstalled
the static mapping to the Webaccess server....no joy. "Enforce Access
Rules" is unchecked for testing and Transparent Proxy is off.

So, it appears that NAT is working because we are receiving inbound
Internet mail. Webaccess, using the same public IP and NAT table should
also be working but is NOT.

Any thoughts on what else I may check would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rich

Take a lan trace with pktscan on bm server and see if packets are
forwarded to the internal webservers. If they're, nat works fine and
issue could be on the webaccess server ( default gateway pointing back
to bm private ip? ).
