In the smoothwall web config where it asks you for the source ip to use for
port forwarding say 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 (that means all ips afaik) at least
that's how it is in IPCop (which is a smoothwall clone).

Basically set up portforwarding of port (n) from source 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 then
make sure you specifically enable that port for access in the firewall
config part.

Again similarities/dissimilarities betwixt Smoothwall/IPCop not
withstanding.
