I don't have an answer, but I do think you need to indicate you OS
version. Just saw some other emails and older versions of FreeBSD seem to
behave different when natd is initialized.
Did you try rebooting the machine?
Also I am not clear what you mean that you can not contact the machine
from outside. The natd interface should only affect packets going from
to/from the internal network. I don't see how the external interface would
be down because of something you did with natd.
How about giving us:
-ifconfig output (just the basics like below)
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.10.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.10.255
ed0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 66.114.65.147 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 66.114.65.255
-rc.conf settings related to natd (like below)
natd_enable="YES" # Enable natd (if firewall_enable == YES).
natd_interface="ed0" # Public interface or IPaddress
