This sounds normal. Cable modems should pick up a single public IP address via a dhcp like process. The router/Nat box should then assign private IP addresses to systems connected to it. In the context of NAT traffic to a port on the public side is translated to a port and private IP address. Commonly traffic out is triggers a translated transparent matching inbound link although firewall rules can impose additional restrictions. Virtual machines add additional confusion... with their virtualized network links. Remember that addresses in the 10.xxx.yyy.zzz and 192.168.xxx.yyy are not routed the way public nets are. -- T o m M i t c h e l l mitch-at-niftyegg-dot-com _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
