Dear Doug,

My FreeBSD 2.2.5 gateway has not worked well since last Friday, which
bridges an intrane to Internet. Network communications of internal
machines accessing Internet are good through this gateway's NATD, but
that of the gateway and internal machinese are extremely slow at the
begin of their connections such as telnet, ftp and http. 

When I tested the gateway machine with a self-coded network program, I
found that it could not bind its socket with a local address
(192.168.1.1:2323). The error message is below.

su-2.01# inet_svr 2323
inet_svr: addr=101a8c0 sin_port=4873
bind(): errno=49 Can't assign requested address
binding: Can't assign requested address

Does this binding error cause a slow network communication between BSD
gateway and internal machines? How to solve it?

THanks,
Phil
