4.1Add NAT to Classic IP, PPP over ATM or PPP over Ethernet

NAT is an IP address conversion feature that translates a PC’s local (internal) address into a temporary global (outside/Internet) IP address. NAT is needed when a PC (or several PCs) on a Local Area Network wants to connect to the outside Internet to get to a remote network: NAT swaps the local IP address to a global IP address. Our version of NAT goes one step further by allowing several PCs to share one single IP address to the Internet, thus reducing connection costs. In effect, it allows a whole LAN to connect to the Internet as a single user.
