I think this question is kinda lame,
But anyway out of curiosity.
I have FreeBSD 3.4 machine set up as a GATEWAY with NAT and 4 computers are
connected to it, I disabled all Services on Gateway. So when I do NMAP scan
on it, it does not show me any information about Gateway, also it does not
show any services running and open ports. 
 But I do not quite Understand How it's possible that other machines on the
network can Use Napster, Web Browser, IRC via Gateway with no problems
without opening any ports on a GATEWAY ? I do not think I understand how it
works....
 I am not complaining, I don't have any problems with GATEWAY, but I am just
curious...
 Can anyone make this clear to me? Please?
Andrei.
