Q: What is “NAT” and what is it used for?

The Network Address Translation (NAT) Protocol translates multiple IP Addresses on a private LAN into a single public IP Address that is accessible to the Internet. NAT not only provides the basis for multiple IP Address sharing but also adds to the LAN’s security since the multiple IP Addresses of LAN computers are never transmitted directly to the Internet.

Q:How can ADSL Wireless Router enable share of a single account by multiple users?

ADSL Wireless Router combines the following technologies to enable this function.

NAT (Network Address Translation): NAT is a technology which can create a private network domain behind a public IP. It is usually used as a firewall. It can also be used when there are not enough IP Addresses.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol): DHCP is a protocol used to assign IP Address to internal computers automatically. It can save a lot of IP configuration. This protocol is supported by Windows 95/NT, Mac OS, and many other popular OS.
