NAT and network services

[Fab <fabrizio.nospam@nospam.nospam>]

Hello everybody,
I'm having the following problem on a Windows 2008 server configured
as following:

- 1 interface for the internal network (192.168.x.x)
- 1 interface for the internet connection
- NAT roles enabled

In this configuration all the clients connected to the internal
network have succesfully access to internet.
On the same computer I have some network services using specific ports
not binded to specific addresses. Ideally they should be accessible
both from internet AND from the local network.

Instead, I can access the services only from the internal LAN. No
access from internet.
(By the way, the firewall is fully disabled).

The fact is that if I disable the NAT role, the services becomes
accessible (but of course the internal clients have no access to
internet).

I suppose problems on the path of the service's reply, maybe missing
route paths....

Any suggestions ? Thanks!
