Why can my internal network not access any externally exposed service?

I have NAT and Firewall entries for several services, such as mail server, web server etc. 

I can access these services perfectly from any external network connecting to my WAN port.

But I cannot access any of these services from devices that are inside my LAN.

Example: My phone can get email from the mail server perfectly when it is connected to GPRS, but it cannot when it is connected to my LAN via Wifi.

Can anybody tell me what is wrong?

  • If the servers are on different internal LANs than the clients you will need a policy to allow it.

    ie. A new policy from "Basement Client LAN", Service: FTP, To: FTPServer, Allow.

    It's hard to know more without knowing your network. You probably have a policy allowing traffic from "Internet IPv4" or something similar, to make the outside traffic work. You'll need something similar for LAN1 to LAN2 traffic.
