nitzan Premium,VIP join:2008-02-27 ·ViaTalk ·Comcast	Being pingable doesn't matter. You would however want to set the NAT options on your adapter (NAT mapping and NAT keep-alive) to on if such options are available. Assuming you are behind a NAT router.

Re: [General] Info Please!

NAT is usually a non-routable IP range Like 192.168.0.1 different from what the router sees. »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network

So if your network uses internal addresses, then NAT uses your router's real world IP to talk on the web. (Sorry if this is already obvious!)

My point is a router refers to it as WAN(Routable) and LAN(Unroutable), but rarely calls it NAT.
