Perhaps, but I'v heard a lot of good things about IPF and IPNAT, especially since the nat is all in kernel where as natd is userland, so there is a slight performance boost possibly there as well.. It is not difficult to switch back to my old set up, but I thought I would give it a chance, sin

That's an absolutely terrible reason. On FreeBSD and the other open source operating systems there are always multiple ways to solve a problem. While in a few situations it can definitively be stated that one program is better (for example, sendmail is obviously superior to qmail) in most situat

Well the main reason is that it was part of IPF, and IPF seemed to be better than IPFW? So when trying out IPF I also used IPNAT.. I had no problems with natd but it seemed I should use the IPNAT if I was using IPF? On 25/11/2007, at 8:00 PM, Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: The other thing you can d

The other thing you can do is simply switch back to natd. You didn't say why you decided to switch in the first place. A lot of times people switch because they are having problems with natd. Are you? If not, you should be aware that natd does support more kinds of protocol translations. Ted
