Ok Guys I have figured out what the problem was.

In my General Setup in m0n0wall I used our real domain name. This is a 
real domain that we own and resolves to a real IP.

As soon as I used mycorp.com (the suggested example) as the domain name 
in General Settings all was ok.

One thing to note is that our domain contains a hyphen "-" in it, I 
wonder if that was the problem.

So my question now is, Why can't I use my real domain but I can use 
mycorp.com?
