                Hi all!

I have the following problem:
My FreeBSD box act as a dial-up router for my small network. This is a
AMD-machine with two network cards and a modem. Dial-up connection
works via pppd, firewall and nat - ipfw/natd

su-2.04# cat '/etc/natd.conf'
dynamic         yes
same_ports      no
use_sockets     yes

this is how nat is configured

firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_type="open"
natd_enable="YES"
natd_interface="ppp0"
natd_flags="-f /etc/natd.conf"

this is how i made it work.

The problem:
I have some clients with ICQ 99b on both sides of this router. Icq
connects to it's server as usual, seems like working fine, but
sometimes it disconnects from the server for a few seconds (3-4 to
15-20 secs) and then connects again. How can i fix it? Before there
was an NT box with Winroute inside, i haven't experienced this
problem..
