Network Address Translation (NAT) Default Settings
NAT default settings let you specify whether you want your Motorola Netopia® Gateway to forward NAT traffic to a default server when it doesn’t know what else to do with it. The NAT default host function is useful in situations where you cannot create a specific NAT pin- hole for a traffic stream because you cannot anticipate what port number an application might use. For example, some network games select arbitrary port numbers when a con- nection is being opened. By identifying your computer (or another host on your network) as a NAT default server, you can specify that NAT traffic that would otherwise be discarded by the Motorola Netopia® Gateway should be directed to a specific hosts.

Network Address Translation (NAT) Pinhole Settings
NAT pinholes let you pass specific types of network traffic through the NAT interfaces on the Motorola Netopia® Gateway. NAT pinholes allow you to route selected types of network traffic, such as FTP requests or HTTP (Web) connections, to a specific host behind the Motorola Netopia® Gateway transparently.
