Error -natd[285]: failed to write packet back...-

Post by Henk Bokhove » Wed, 27 Oct 1999 04:00:00



Hi all,
Okay, recompiled the kernel, IP-forwarding is working now ;)
However, the system is bothering me with the next repeating message(s):

natd[285]: failed to write packet back (Permission denied)
natd[285]: failed to write packet back (Host is down)

I started "natd" with "-u -m" and also tried "-interface fxp0".

Output from "ifconfig fxp0;ifconfig ep0":

fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 129.125.xxx.xxx netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast
129.125.255.255
        ether 00:00:0e:xx:xx:xx
        media: autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active
        supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX
10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP
ep0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.1.251 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        ether 00:60:08:xx:xx:xx

NIC-fxp0 is an Intel EPro 10/100, and NIC-ep0 is a 3Com 509,by-the-way.
Any suggestions? TIA!
Regards,

Problem seems to be solved.
FYI: I added the "-d"-switch, restarted "natd" and cleared the arp-cache
("arp -d -a").
Cheers,

1. natd problem - natd[121]: failed to write packet back (Permission denied).

I have FreeBSD 4.1.1-RELEASE installed and using NATD and IPFW.    With
IPFIREWALL and DIVERT enabled.   I get this:  natd[121]: failed to write
packet back (Permission denied).

When I add IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT to the kernel, I don't see the
error. So I assume it to be a firewall rule issue.

I'm using the rc.firewall but adding the "log" keyword to many of the
commands.  My ipfw command for the natd is:
natd_interface="xl0"           # Public interface.
ipfw  add divert natd all from any to any via ${natd_interface}

Any help you can provide would be appreciated.
