Subject:   recurring natd error message

I have a FreeBSD box with a dhcp connection to the net.
I am using natd to allow net access from my own lan, behind the bsd box.
It appears to be working properly.
However, I constantly receive the following message from BSD:
myhostname natd[133]: failed to write packet back (Host is down)
(This is followed by messages like, "last message repeated 319 times", etc)

I do not understand what is causing this error.

Here is some information that may or may not be relevant to the problem:
rc.conf:
ifconfig_dc0="DHCP"
hostname="bsd.philnet"
gateway_enable="YES"
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_type="OPEN"
firewall_quiet="NO"
natd_enable="YES"
natd_interface="dc0"
natd_flags="-s -m -dynamic"
network_interfaces="lo0 dc0 ep1"
ifconfig_ep1="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"

I am using the default rc.firewall that was installed along with FreeBSD 
4.1.1
