So so wrong. A NAT (Network Address Translation) process on a Router or Firewall, or "Security Appliance" or whatever is a one way ticket out of the private IP space, without inbound port or address forwarding setup. A router is simply a device to connect different networks at layer 3. If you are not running NAT or any access lists a router itself will not do anything to limit packets going across it. Most home/broadband "routers" come with NAT enabled by default. -- Hexis www.hxxl.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
