 | NetworkAddressTranslation=On one side of the router or proxy (preferably the ISPs) The internet sends requested web traffic to the one & only address the router exposes ie; 169.253.178.0. It then routes the Web info to the Address of the PC that sent the request ie;192.165.1.104,which the Internet can't see. In theory you pay for one Internet Connection while NAT allows you to )snicker) share it with up to 250 computers on your LAN. The Boneheads in an effort to sqwwweeezze..every possible $$ out of us dont like dis!" Hey yo'! You got 5 PC's hook up; Yo, you pay for 5! Or else we break your face! YO!?? And thats the story of NAT the little protocal that could. |
