Hey, Have you guys seen this error message before. Especially at home when connected to a DSL or Cable Modem? Aug 24 08:07:50 gw natd[130]: failed to write packet back (Permission denied) Aug 24 08:08:11 gw last message repeated 3 times Aug 24 08:10:11 gw last message repeated 5 times Aug 24 08:17:45 gw last message repeated 11 times After reading a lot of postings, I found a post from a FreeBSD core developer who blamed this error message on his cable modem provider and stated that it looked like the ip to mac was not mapping correctly. So I added the mac address for my dsl modem manually arp -S x.x.x.x 0:10:66:0:34:72 This seems to have stopped the message completely. I have been running the machine with the change for a couple of hours and have not seen the message again. I am open to suggestions as to where the command should be put (ie: which file to edit).
