Webserver port forward

The webserver can now be successfully accessed from the outside world. Here's the right configuration we used.

The right adapters for the WAN and LAN interfaces.
Adapter card type: Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop

DHCP server gives IPs in the range 192.168.1.100/199 .

Currently there are two machines connected, our webserver and a machine representing a client.

Now let's take a look at the actual port forwarding part.
So far just a simle rule was added that enables ouside access of the webserver.

Ofcourse we also need a rule that forwards the HTTP port 80 on the VirtualBox router. We do that in the Settings of our pfSense machine (Network -> Advanced -> Port Forwarding)

And here's the actual result. The webserver is reached on a machine on the external network (a.k.a. the Internet).
