I installed natd so that vmware machines could access the network and my
own machine.  When I'm notusing it (and haven't used it since boot),
I get gaggles of console messages that


Jun 13 13:03:12 fac13 natd[171]: failed to write packet back (Host is down)

As I understand things (which is probably wrong), nothing should be 
talking to natd anyway.  My machine is up, its gateway is up, and the
virtual machine on the 192. network is not up--which means that it 
shouldn't be sending anything for natd to worry about.
