NAT
(only supported by Wireless Routing Client and Gateway)
The basic purpose of NAT is to share a single public IP address when there are multiple PCs in the private network by using different TCP ports to identify requests coming from different PCs. NAT is enabled by default.
Due to NAT, computers in the private LAN behind the access point will not be directly accessible from the Internet. However, employing virtual Servers lets you host Internet servers behind the NAT by way of IP/Port Forwarding as well as De- Militarized Zone hosting.
To learn more about NAT and its complementary technologies, please turn to the NAT Technology Primer found on the Product CD.
Step 1:
Under the CONFIGURATION command menu, click on NAT. NAT is enabled by default. To disable it, click Disable.
Step 2:
Click Apply to effect the setting.
Important:
Do NOT disable NAT unless absolutely necessary. Disabling NAT will disable broadband Internet sharing effectively.
