I have a dialup workstation with no ethernet card & found that starting natd with tun0 down resulted in natd trying to contact ntp servers using a source address of 127.0.0.1. It would not pick up tun0's address when tun0 was brought up. Jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

According to the manpage, natd is designed to be used with ethernet-type permanent connections that start at boot. What happens is that natd starts, using ppp0, which isn't active at boot time, and then shuts down. Use the PPP daemon's nat option instead (see 'man natd'). -- Soren Harward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Dear Robert, I'm no expert but ppp also comes with a natd build in to it. If i remember right putting in the lines `enable nat` was all it took to enable it. -- Best regards, Alex The FreeBSD handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html How to get the best results from FreeBSD-Questions http://www.lemis.com/questions.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Starting natd
I'm setting up a FBSD 4.4 box as a gateway. I've got natd_enable="YES" natd_interface="ppp0" in rc.config, but I can't get natd to run without entering natd -interface ppp0 at the comand prompt. I assume this is a configuration problem, but I've been through the files several times and can't find an error. Can someone tell me how to get natd to run automatically?
