Hi! This is the problem: From time to time windows machines lose their connect from behind the nat server to the outside for several minutes. During those periods windows can ping nat server and nat server can as well ping the outside, i.e. windows clients can happily continue to use proxies. Then everything goes ok. This is repeating a couple of times a day and sometimes the problem doesn't fire up for several days. Also an observation of interest: there were no packets from affected systems noted in natd log whilest unsuccessfully trying to connect from such systems to outside And, of course, the most mystical thing is that some machines never suffer from this, particularly Win2k seems not to be affected. Two different machines are used as a nat servers: one with FreeBSD 4.3-release & one with FreeBSD 4.4-release, serving several private networks. Any notion on this? -- T.C.
