In local.freebsd.questions you write: >Thanks, but I'm getting 150+ per day of these errors. Cable support doesn't >have a clue. I'm wondering if anyone else has any ideas? This question comes up every now and then on the mailing lists, usually followed by more or less plasuble explanations. Try seaching the archives at <http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html>; for "failed to write packet back". One explanation I saw somehere was that these messages are due to DNS replies coming in, where the host sending the request is no longer around. If you just want to get rid of the message, you could always just comment out that line from the natd source and recompile. >On Wednesday 10 January 2001 11:52, Beech Rintoul wrote: >> > I am running 4.2 on a gateway machine that is also doing public DNS.
