please help to solve problems with NATting (IPFW+NATD, FreeBSD 8.1)

[62mkv]

Hello Freebsd-ipfw,

  I have already spent around a week to solve this problem. Evidently
  I miss something crucial for understanding.

  I have a FreeBSD 8.1 box, 2 NICs, one per LAN (192.168.0.0/24),
  another per WAN (static global IP)

  The box itself operates quite well both on LAN and on WAN. According
  to the console output at startup, NATD starts up OK.

  the rules script that I think SHOULD work fine for my needs,
  misbehaves (at least for me) - none of the application from LAN can
  get access to WAN sites, not ping, no web, nothing

  But the "ipfw show" displays only "allow" rules matches, as if
  everything is working.

  It is then either routing issue, either NATD, how can I localize
  and solve the problem ?

  All (I hope so) relevant info is in the zip-archive http://download81.files.mail.ru/P1TYGH/a1f6972cb51c1587b8bf9ec1d59144fb/IPFW.ZIP,

  please help !

  Thanks a lot !

Best wishes, 62mkv
