I assume you are sending a packet from your home network to some public IP. Your ISP is then NATting this to 10.73.219.156. Using tcpdump or ethereal, can you see the packet arrive at 10.73.219.156? If so, can you see the packet leave 192.168.0.1?, If so, what are the source and destination sockets of the egressing packet? Do you see a reply packet? How is it addressed? If you do not see a packet exiting the gateway on the 192.168.0.1 interface, place log rules in the various points of your table to find out where the packet is dying. Good luck - John -- John A.
