NAT isn't a proxy. It rewrites the packets and sends them on, so I wouldn't expect to see a connection on the NATing machine
IIRC NAT listens on the interface AFTER everyone else, so that it receives only the packets that aren't being actually directed to the NATing host. The NAT software then looks in it's tables for the proper host/port combination, rewrites the packet and reinjects it... -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 16, 2002 1:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Outgoing Connections and NAT Hi, I'm currently connected to the internet via a cable modem which is in turn connected to one of two NIC's in a PC, the other NIC being connected to a hub. I am running NT and comtun 4.0 for NAT. The question I have is when I am accessing the internet no connection is shown on the pc running the NAT software. For example Vision (TCP/IP Port Mapper) will show the local ports and the path to the program etc but the remote address is always empty. When using TCPView no connections to any remote IP address are shown and the same when using netstat. Can anyone offer any advice? Cheers
