Greetings 

Do you have Samba set up on your system?  It seems that a fair amount of
problems with natd is due to a bad Samba setup.  You can troubleshoot by
modifying all your hosts files so that there's no references to any
outside interfaces (only 127.0.0.0/8 192.168.0.0/24 and other
non-broadcast entries)  Start adding back your outside ip's and see
where the trouble begins.
