Same thing it usually does, another machine (interface) on the LAN. natd is telling you that after processing a packet, it cannot be sent to the machine it is addressed to because the "host is down." What that means is that the system cannot get the data link layer address for the IP address in question. There is not enough information for a further diagnosis. -- Crist J.
