According to the manpage, natd is designed to be used with ethernet-type permanent connections that start at boot. What happens is that natd starts, using ppp0, which isn't active at boot time, and then shuts down. Use the PPP daemon's nat option instead (see 'man natd'). -- Soren Harward soren@byu.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
