Re: Sonicwall Pro NAT

Thanks for the follow-up questions. We are using an older SonicWall
Pro. It had been sitting in a box for some time.

I changed the IP addresses (to protect the innocent) in the last note.
I'll use different ones this time but they will more accurately reflect
what is going on.

The LAN address of the firewall is: 76.204.252.193 with a mask of
255.255.255.192. The mail server has only one interface and is behind
the sonicwall. It's address is 76.204.252.201 with a mask of
255.255.255.192. It's gateway is the LAN address of the firewall,
76.204.252.193

The WAN/DMZ address of the firewall is 76.204.252.118 with a mask of
255.255.255.128.

The server is sending and receiving using it's own address,
76.204.292.201. But to the world it appears that messages are being
sent from the WAN address of the sonicwall, 76.204.252.118. That's
what I'm trying to overcome. I'd like the server to be behind the
firewall but send and receive using it's .201 address so that I can
properly configure forward and reverse lookup.

Thanks again.
