Hi, I've been having some problems with NAT between a 3.4-RELEASE box and a couple of Win98SE (Shite Edition) clients. Basically, there are two win98 boxes connected to the FreeBSD box over the LAN. The FreeBSD box has a ppp connection to the Internet with a dynamic IP allocation. The FreeBSD box runs ppp with the following options (I think), and has the default ppp config file with the phone numbers changed.:- # ppp -auto -alias Everything works great but the Win98SE boxes make the FreeBSD NAT box dial out approx every 15 minutes! IPFW rules do not exist on this either (yet). I have a cron job to run fetchmail at 8:30AM, 4:30PM and 10PM every day, but I've turned that off and it still does it! The BSD box has had sendmail disabled in rc.conf and the Win98SE boxes have nothing extra running apart from the Systray and Explorer processes (If you can call them that). There are no mail checking utilities and nothing I can see that causes any problems. Has anyone got any ideas? Could it be something to do with NetBIOS and if so, how can I tell the FreeBSD box to ignore them? Alternatively, can someone provide me with a large axe so I can hack the Win98 boxes up :-) Thanks in advance Chris Smith Raytheon Systems Limited UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
