UpDate:,,, Having trouble setting up TOR server behind firewall...

[algenon flower]

Hello Pei Hanru, experienced TOR users
  I have checked Linksys doc's and I think they were helpful. At present, I think I need to assign a static IP to my RHEL system behind NAT firewall. That seems to include two extra assigned IP numbers, like 196.168.1.20, Then I can use port forwarding set-up on NAT router. I bet this is elementary school for many of you, it took a little while for me :),,  All I need now is the procedure to assign a static IP on RHEL. I am checking that now,, And, Hope it all Works! In any case, thanks to people interested, and additional comments welcome.
                                                            peace, Algenon

Unfortunately, you are doing worse...

What you should do is first figuring out the *actual* private IP address
of your Linux box, then forwarding port 9001 and port 9030 (or port
range 9001-9030 if you like) to *that* address, rather than forwarding
the same port range to three distinct addresses.

It's a good idea to reread port forwarding part of Linksys manual carefully.
