You are of course correct. I do not use NAT on my 678 as I use a block of addresses so my case is not a fair comparison.

And NAT is always somewhat stateful, it has to learn and keep a mapping of ip and port combos that have been assigned statically and dynamically and keep track of when they have been terminated or need to time out. A while back when I used gamespy to do a ping and game status check on a list of 1000+ servers the first 50 or so would always ping good, and the rest were 1000+ms. When pinged individually they would ping well. The 678 can't process high numbers of packets real well. This is likely related to the OP's issue.

The 678 is not stateful I am pretty sure so I doubt it has any connection exhaustion issues. I have in any case run many high volume nmap scans across my 678 with never an issue. > > Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile > _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
