Note that NTP does not use TCP, but UDP. Are you sure that your filter rules are OK? It's certainly possible to have a bug in the rule set so it forwards NTP replies for the internal clients, but doesn't allow them to reach the ntpd running on the machine itself. Another question: Do you have a dynamically assigned IP address? In that case ntpd needs to be restarted when a new address is assigned, because ntpd has the unfortunate habit to bind to all addresses that exist at the time it is started. I'm running ntpd on a NAT gateway myself (RELENG_6), and there are no problems at all. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
