I'm tring to configure the above firewall to allow access to an internal server running a web based CRM from SAge. The works fine if accessing internally at The internal ip address is 192.168.1.227. I have added a rule for the http service to allow traffice from the WAN to go to the LAN to the above address. This procedure worked fine for the RDP but is not working for the web page. I get page not found when tring to access the CRM. When I look at my lof I see the a message about "IPSEC Replay Detected" the ip address are mine at home and the external address.
I'm running a 1 man shop for about 30 users so I'm learning a lot about everything but haven't figured this one out.
Help please. :)
 
In order to permit access to a web server on the LAN you need to do ALL of the following steps before it will work.

Server Address Objects
1. Create 'xxx Private' assigned to LAN Zone for Host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx inside ip address
2. Reuse 'WAN Primary IP' address object assigned to WAN Zone for WAN ip address, or assign a new one as appropriate.

Server Service Group Object
1. Create 'xxx Services' with HTTP and HTTPS Services.

Server NAT Policies
1. Create Inbound Server NAT Policy to rewrite packets to original destination 'WAN Primary IP' to translated destination 'xxx Private'.
2. Create Outbound Server NAT Policy to rewrite packets from 'xxx Private' to translated source 'WAN Primary IP'.
3. Create Loopback NAT Policy to allow access from all internal zones to the server at public IP address from Server Address Objects item 2 above.

Server Access Rules
1. WAN > LAN - Allow 'Any' to 'WAN Primary IP' for Service Group 'xxx Services'.
Similar rules should be created from all lower security zones to the LAN zone.

I don't know if a PRO 200 has them, but look for WIZARDS and use create a Public Server Wizard. There may only be available on the new model Sonicwall's.
