Hate to ask the obvious questions, but here they are:

Are you trying to access the public IP (213.215.104.75) from the LAN (i.e. private IP -
192.168.100.x)? If so - classic LANNAT issue... http://www.m0n0.ch/wall/docbook/faq-lannat.html

The next question is when you created the NAT rule did you allow the auto-creation of the firewall
rule? Maybe auto-create should be the default on inbound NAT?
