I got a litel problem, i try to forward port 8080 to a apache server on
VMware.
I can see that to connection comes to the VMware computer with tcpdump but
nothing gets back the connection timesout.

I think that this is a error that have to do with VMware but i better
ask if you
know something about this. I can connect to the apache server from the
internal nerwork if i use the local adress, so the server is
"accessible"(?).

I have searched the maillist and found some problems with apache but not
the same as i got, and i have not found that i need to make any special
settings
on my apache config. If you have it on you webpage i need to get new
glasses :)

The setup looks like this:

Internet < Firewall > 192.168.0.1 < LAN > 192.168.0.2  < This is
the
computer that run VMware, Windows 2000 as host system. The network is
bridged. > 192.168.0.3 < The computer that runs in VMware >

I hope you get that.

The rule i use looks like this:
DNAT   net   loc:192.168.0.3   tcp   80
