Thanks in advance for any help. > >-Scott It usually means that the external interface went down. That is the message I get when my cable modem service goes out for some reason (loss of power, bad weather, farmer with a back-hoe, etc.) It could also mean that your configuration is wrong or you have the cable modem plugged into the wrong interface (assuming a cable modem set-up.) But that usually gives a slightly different error. NATd is pretty simple to set-up and the man page is very complete. I also posted a complete step-by-step procedure for configuring NATd, about 2 days ago. Check the archive.
