Thank you, I upgraded to 2.6.1 and now I get another error

root@client:~# puppetd --server client.mydomain.com --waitforcert 60 --test

err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Connection refused -
connect(2)
warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

I don't understand the error all other clients can contact the puppet server
just fine. The client is Ubuntu 10.04. Like I said the client is behind a
nat firewall, can that be the problem?
