note: it's best to state your question first, with a summary of the
problem, then the details. some can answer given just the former and it
saves them having to wade through the later. sometimes preparing the
summary causes you to consider something that you had missed when staring
at the details, so that you find your problem without posting the article.
in comp.security.firewalls i read:
[a win2k `game server' on a nat'd lan with a static public ip address using
a sonicwall soho2 which the op wants to make available for internet and
internal use, but even after forwarding the appropriate ports through the
firewall the game doesn't appear to be working]

it sounds like the game isn't really running, or is listening on different
ports or on a different (internal) address than you expect. first get the
game running internally then worry about access (internal and external) via
the public address.
some napt routers and/or firewalls do have problems with internal clients
sending packets to the external address. i don't know if the soho2 suffers
this problem, sorry.
