Asymetrical routing. Although you make a request to the external ip of that natted device when it goes to respond it sends the response straight back to your machine with it's internal IP. Your machine is not expecting a response from it's "real" address but rather it's natted address so it ignores the reply...eventually your connection comes back as timing out. -- Juan Concepcion Network Engineer/Security Consultant CCSA/CCSE Certified [email protected] On 2001.05.29 10:28 FW1List wrote: > > Hi Guys, > > I have a PC hidden behind the firewall and static nat. > When initiate from the PC which is hidden behind the firewall. > The external PC can see my private IP.
