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 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.10.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.10.255 ed0: flags=8843 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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
