Hey, I just my got NAT box running 4.4-RELEASE on an old Pentium 90 and I'm experiencing a number of problems and I think they're related.. there's been a major bandwidth hit in all my web surfing and my ICQ, AOL and MSN (using both Trillian and Messenger) are dropping connections -- a lot. I don't think a single day's gone by without a connection dropping or two. As I said before, I've taken a bandwidth hit on my surfing as well -- to the point where connection attempts are completely timing out. I've included an abbreviated rc.conf and my natd.conf here.. rc.conf <snip> ifconfig_rl0="DHCP" ifconfig_dc0="inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" inetd_enable="YES" <snip> gateway_enable=YES natd_enable=YES natd_inteface=rl0 natd_flags="-config /etc/natd.conf" firewall_enable=YES firewall_type=OPEN natd.conf unregistered_only yes same_ports yes log yes dynamic yes interface rl0 Did I do anything wrong? Miss anything? Add anything unnecessary? The kernel's been recompiled as is appropriate. Thanks in advance. -- Matt Coe, CCNA Member-At-Large, Dalhousie University CS Society Fall 2003 'Ford!
