Thanks for the info! I think you may be right. I had to configure the local firewall to allow all connections from the server. Which kinda defeats the purpose. If you have control over the NAT why not just assign a dedicated port? There might still be value in this approach, however. Even though I have control over the NAT I have multiple clients that might need to create these connections. I would need to map ports to be able to handle simultaneous connections.
