I am using natd to allow net access from my own lan, behind the bsd box. It appears to be working properly. However, I constantly receive the following message from BSD: myhostname natd[133]: failed to write packet back (Host is down) (This is followed by messages like, "last message repeated 319 times", etc) I do not understand what is causing this error. Here is some information that may or may not be relevant to the problem: rc.conf: ifconfig_dc0="DHCP" hostname="bsd.philnet" gateway_enable="YES" firewall_enable="YES" firewall_type="OPEN" firewall_quiet="NO" natd_enable="YES" natd_interface="dc0" natd_flags="-s -m -dynamic" network_interfaces="lo0 dc0 ep1" ifconfig_ep1="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" I am using the default rc.firewall that was installed along with FreeBSD 4.1.1 _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
