Nslookup gets a "no response from server" error. Dig gets a "connection refused" error. This machine has been able to get network access before. I was trying to recompile the kernel and it kept screwing up; probably from incomplete source code. Anyway, I rebuilt it and after much fooling around got my IPF and IPNAT rules to boot up without errors, but now I can't get to the DNS. My IPNAT is very simple: map ep0 10.0.1.0/24 -> ep0 /32 portmap tcp/udp 1025:65000 My IPF rules are borrowed from "Building Linux and OpenBSD Firewalls". The ICMP section is as follows: pass in quick on ep0 proto icmp all icmp-type 0 pass in quick on ep0 proto icmp all icmp-type 3 pass in quick on ep0 proto icmp all icmp-type 11 I appreciate your time.
