Hi,
I've already posted this but it looks like it has been deleted or somehow
was not sent.
I have setup a linux router for my network. Everything works well except one
thing.
It has three network connections. One is the Internet, another is a bridge
of network cards that is the LAN and the last one is a separate network used
as a SAN.
The problem is that I can't access the local servers with the external
Internet IP.
This worked before when I had my POS linksys router that I smashed into
pieces after the linux router was setup because I hated it.
This creates some problems. For example, if I host something on my local
webserver (192.168.0.2) and somebody links to it from a webpage on an
external server and I click on it I can't get access. However it would work
if I was not a the LAN. So if I replace the IP address in the link with the
one of my LAN it will work. However that's a real mess, if there is a page
with like 50 pictures the 50 pictures will load for everybody except the
ones that are on the lan except if they were to click on each picture
manually and edit the adress so that it contains the LAN IP.
Also I always need to log remotely to an outside computer to test if
services are accessible with the internet IP.
If it can help, here are the scripts I use to configure IPtables:

I run Debian GNU/Linux with 2.6.8 kernel.
I wish there is a quick way to fix this since my previous crappy router did
it so well.
