Ok, I think I understand.

NAT?

Network Address Translation - right?

Now, a "packet forwarder" does?

I don't understand what this means.

I had my Amiga set on netowrk (say) 1.1.1.x  It talked to my PC ok.

Another mate brought over his Amiga and it was on network 1.1.0.x

I coppied the interface and changed the IP numbers to match his and
connected both interfaces.

His Amiga could NOT see my PC.  However my Amiga could see the PC.

So we were confused.

Ok, I guess that "function" would come under a route's name if I am not
mistaken, but I am very new to all these terms and it is kind of slow
going.

Thanks Matt.

Regards
