I think it was the february issue. i'd send a link, but for some reason i cant reach it right now. Only problem I ran into was this, in the natd man page, it says to add "options IPFIREWALL" and "options IPDIVERT" to the kernel. i found that i had to use "option IPDIVERT" for some reason. if you have any problems, let me know. that box is at work, so i can check stuff out tomorrow on it if you need help. -mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
