To help you, we will need more information:

- What firewall software are you running?

- What firewall configuration are you running?

- Do you have a networking situation that requires NAT or is this a bridge?

Those are just a few things we would need to know to start helping you. Please include any other information that might be relevant to your setup.

Thanks,
