my running-config, I truncated it to remove the empty lines and password info.

I would try taking off the ip nat enable and the ip nat allow-static-host off of the interfaces.

Also, after creating these, you may need to either reload the router or try to clear out nat translations. I've had to do both on routers before they started answering correctly.

clear ip nat trans *

HTH,

John

I did as you suggested, however, the problem exists, same as before, outgoing is ok, nothing incoming except for the transfer of email

Try changing the line below:

ip nat source static tcp 192.168.1.11 21 interface FastEthernet0/1 21

to

ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.1.11 21 int fa0/1 21

See if that helps.

John

Thank you for your replies, I have tried as you suggested but it is still not working properly. I'm getting out from the server here, but I can not access the server at all from the outside :-(. Public IP only goes nowhere because that would be the cisco itself and I have http server disabled. I'm thinking about tearing the router down and redoing it from a basic setup, only add the ip nat inside and outside to the interfaces and then create ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.1.11 80 int fa0/1 80, as well as the other necessary ports to forward (SMTP, IMAP, SSL, LDAP, etc.) If this works I'll let you know, if this doesn't I'll let you know. I'm getting frustrated, it must be some simple setting or syntax error that I am confusing.

Thanks for all your help. I cleared the router and redid it, adding the ACL for my internal LAN and then a static nat for the mailserver to go out. Thanks again for all your help, everythng works now. Next issue is how to setup a VPN on the cisco. If anyone has an comments, I'd like to hear them.
