[ale] how do I forward a port from internal ip to extrenal address?

[Geoffrey]

I probably have a similar setup.  I've got a firewall that sits between 
a webserver and the internet.  You can access this webserver from the 
internet.  The firewall is permitting the packets to reach the server 
via the ipchain rules.  Do you have /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward set to 1?

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
