I am using Freebsd 4.0-RELEASE and my network appears to be running like a champ, all my internal machines can view the internet, and the internet can view my machine. here comes the problem, I looked in my logs and noticed this NATD[88] : failed to write packet back (Host is down) This occures repeatedly in /var/log/messages and to say the least is very confusing. I have told the firewall ruleset to be open, and I get the same results. Here are my ipfw ruleset as it is currently: 00100 divert 8668 ip from any to any via ed0 00100 allow ip from any to any via lo0 00200 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 65000 allow ip from any to any 65535 deny ip from any to any For more information, here is a section of my rc.conf file firewall_enable="YES" # Set to YES to enable firewall functionality firewall_type="OPEN" # Firewall type (see /etc/rc.firewall) firewall_quiet="YES" # Set to YES to suppress rule display natd_enable="YES" # Enable natd (if firewall_enable == YES). natd_interface="ed0" # Public interface to use with natd. natd_flags="-pptpalias 192.168.0.10" Thanks for any help, Ray To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
