This is not likely to work straight out of the box as the Qube doesn't do
port mapping.  Hence you can't access any host on the inside of the Qube
from the outside.

Port mapping has been discussed on this list and on qube-users so you should
be able to locate the necessary software and instructions.

Also note that the Qube2 Firewall GUI was broken at some point in time and I
have not heard that its been fixed.

If you are not into getting quite so deep into your Qube2, then supplement
it with a hardware device like a Netgear FR314.

Netgear <http://www.buynetgear.com/> where I just found these prices;

RT314 Cable/DSL Router=A0(RT314)                                  $158.00

FR314 CABLE/DSL FIREWALL ROUTER 4PORT 10/100BT SWITCH=A0(FR314)   $349.00

You can then have both your Qube2 and Citrix server behind a firewall.

Cheers,  Malcolm
