[PLUG] Port Forwarding woes...

	I have a firewall running redhat 6.0 (2.2 kernel).  I have been trying
to get port forwarding to work so I can access my webserver from the
outside world.  I have looked at howto's and message boards and have not
had any luck so I thought I try here.  
	All I am doing is forwarding my firewall external ip to my webserver
(192.168.0.21).  I enter the rule correctly (or so I think) and when I
go to access my firewall on port 80, instead of forwarding to my
webserver it just sits there saying "waiting for reply".  If anybody has
any suggestions or can tell me any common problems that could cause it
to just not work, let me know.
 Other side notes:
	Yes, it has the ipportfw module loaded
	Yes, I am using ipmasqadm
	Yes, both computers are functioning properly (As far as I know)
	Yes, the webserver on the computer I am trying to forward to is
		working correctly
Thanks in advance!
