Hi guys. I just setup NATD, I got a cable modem, and 3 computers... although the problem, (at least I think it does...) only refers to two computers. I think I set it up right, both computers (as well as the gateway / router / caching DNS server with two NICs), can access the network. However, I noticed a few oddities. I use the software, "Eudora Pro" email client on one of the other machines. When I try to send mail to some mailing lists, it will say "thisemail@addr.com was not accept by your SMTP Server, change the recipient name." Okay... I am a bit fuzzy on natd... I thought it forwarded everything all fine and dandy. But I can RECEIVE mail, but I cannot SEND mail from the other computers. I am going to further test different combinations. But all in all, there is something amiss. I tried eliminating sendmail on the other machine. (the natd / gateway / router / caching DNS machine...) but I am uncertain why it would need sendmail to forward the POP3 mail that eudora is sending out? Seems like a port issue? (oh yeah /var/log/maillog shows NO errors... just sendmail starting up.... and having a few DNS errors first before i got the caching DNS server up) Second Problem.... one of the computers is trying to hook into "battle.net" which requires a "6112 UDP" port. What I tried doing is, "natd -permanent_link udp LAN_IP:6112 0:0 6112 -interface de0" It seems to work, but three times in a row, (same day), I "lose" connection. Is something wrong with the permanent link command I did? It seems to work for at least 30 mins... then it "loses" connection. Is that the right idea? Because without that command, the "battle.net" complains that "my server is not processing UDP packets." (and it uses port 6112 packets). I can think of a few potential problems. One... sendmail. Do I need it? I killed it, still having the same email problem. Two... my DNS server is setup wrong? It seems to be working, it is just a caching server. Three.... the ISP with the Cable modem has a bad connect to battle.net. Thanks in advance guys. This is my first REAL work in FreeBSD, and I like it alot. -Carroll Kong To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
