What is NATD trying to do that IPFW is preventing? How can I stop it from cutting in and annoying me when I am in the console? Everything works as far as I can tell, but the frequency and repetitive nature of the message is a warning sign, in my estimation. From what I can gather from my logs, natd has failed to write packet back hundreds of thousands of times since I installed Free-4.3 about three weeks ago. Like I said, everything works, but it is strange. Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Crist J.
