I have a similar problem but this is affecting my clients. It seems if a laptop stays connected longer than the default lease time I get the following message natd[89]: failed to write packet back (Host is down) and it repeats sometimes several hundred times an minute. On the client side the laptop in question loses all IP connectivity but winipcfg reports a valid lease with up to 8 hours remaining in the lease. Release/Renew within the client machine resolve this trouble and often the same IP is reissued. I checked /var/log/security and it seems to be completely empty. Is logging to security disabled or is it possible for there to be no messages in a case like this. I asked this question several times in the past without response. Maybe now since the topic is back up someone can help. ----- Original Message ----- From: <FreeBSD@hm.homeip.net> To: "Mike Semcheski" <jimmyjump77@hotmail.com> Cc: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 2:25 PM Subject: Re: natd failed to write packet back > > Hi Mike, > > Check the /var/log/security file for the last clear message about what was > denied... > > I assume your W2K machine tries to broadcast something on one of the port > 137-139 > > - Joe > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
