packet filter problems

mantus
hi!

i have some problems with the packetfilter.
in my internal network the users should have msn, e-mail and some other services.

the masquerading rule looks fine! 
the services too i think.

e-mail with standard ports works, but only with any-any-allow rule, not with an explicit direction.

msn and bittorrent doesn't work.
services:
Name                  Protocol    Source Port    Destination Port

MSN-Default        TCP                 1:65535          1863
MSN-Filetransfer TCP                 1:65535           6891:6900
MSN-Voice           TCP/UDP         1:65535           6901
Bittorrent            TCP/UDP          6881:6889      6881:6889
SMTP-gmail          TCP                 1:65535          587
POP-gmail            TCP                 1:65535          995

in the firewall rules i have for all these services any-any-allow, but only the gmail rules work.         

where are my mistakes?
and why email only works with any/any?

thanks for your help!

    I have followed the setup for bittorrent in the earlier message but I still cannot get azureus to work, it gives me a NAT error when I test port 6881 TCP.

    Same here. I followed the earlier message exactly and still get a NAT error. No idea why. Seems my ASL just doesn't want to do port forwarding. Not only that, but I think the rule about Allowing Any service from the Internal network is a little silly. That's not forwarding, thats just opening everything up and defeating the whole point.
