Problem with configuring Firewall

[Smurfcho]

can someone help me configuring my firewall for portfarding? I signed up with http://www.fennocloudcam.com but don't know how to open a port in the firewall for them.

How is this related to FreeNAS?

Seriously, if you don't know how to set up port forwarding, you'll want to understand basic networking and so forth before you attempt a FreeNAS, sir, with all due respect.

Well, to be fair, he is posting it in the off-topic section which says "Want to discuss something of interest to FreeNAS users but which is not necessarily related to FreeNAS? This is your place." I guess he figured firewall configuration would be of interest to FreeNAS users

That said, what DrKK said is correct. If you don't already know how to configure a firewall to allow access through for something, you're going to have a really bad time trying to get a FreeNAS working as the concepts involved are much much more technical in nature.

To answer you though, it really depends on what Firewall you're using. The basic concept is to tell it that any incoming traffic on port x needs to go to client y. How it accomplishes that though can very wildly from vendor to vendor.
