Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm using 2.2.6 - and perhaps this has already been addressed in 2.2.7; and maybe 3.0. But, on an "interior" host (one which is not directly connected to the internet); when I use netscape and try to get to AOL (it's just an example page I've found), I discover that the page will never make it. However, if I login to the gateway machine, which is the direct connection to the internet and which also is the host where natd is running... I'm able to get to the aol site without a problem. Doesn't this "smell" of packet reconstruction problems? Anyway, if someone who is using natd on 3.0, or 2.2.7 could try to access the aol home page: http://www.aol.com from an interior host... (and compare that to the retrieval speed when on the gateway machine) I'd appreciate it. - Thanks - - Dave R. - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
