It matters. NAT 44 or NAT 444 or NAT 4444 are detrimental to applications that are not just browsing the web, as the user usually loses UPnP features that a single NAT can provide. What I liked doing was having the benefits of both by filtering at L2 to only packets going to gateway and to required broadcast addresses All other junk was filtered by the Ubiquiti radio. No double nat, no routing. Best of both worlds. Rubens _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list Wireless@wispa.org http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
