Attachments: Message as HTML

I am tring to set bacula up to backup a remote machine that is on the other side of of a firewall. I have read and reread the bacula docs the ipf docs and the ipnat docs and think i understand what should be done. However it does not seem to work please help.

******I have added the following lines to the ipf.rules file of the director machine

pass out quick on cdce0 proto tcp from any to any port = 9101 flags S keep state
pass out quick on cdce0 proto tcp from any to any port = 9102 flags S keep state
pass out quick on cdce0 proto tcp from any to any port = 9103 flags S keep state

******next i added the following to the ipf.rules file of the server machine that provides a firewall and nat for the fd machine.

pass in quick on xl0 proto tcp from any to any port = 9102 flags S keep state

******* then i have added the following ipnat rules to hopefully redirect port 9102 to the desired machine behind the firewall running the file daemon

rdr xl0 0/32 port 9102 -> 192.168.0.15 port 9102

*******I believe if have all the correct entries in the director and file daemon and can telnet to the the remote port

[root < at > new # telnet computerking.ca 9102
Trying 68.146.204.152...
Connected to computerking.ca.
Escape character is '^]'.

*****but when i try to connect to the client from bconsole i always get the dreaded auth error. please please please help as this has become a very complicated endeavor and i am a bit lost as to what to try next.

Connecting to Client lappy-fd at computerking.ca:9102
Failed to connect to Client lappy-fd.
