I'm confused as to whether NAT is useful for a single desktop computer that uses a modem to dial into an ISP. Is it? My impression is that if this computer served as a gateway for other computers then yes, NAT would be a good thing. But NAT doesn't do anything for the actual machine that dials in, right? Or, could I use NAT and everything will look as if it comes from the host I dial into? I'm confused...don't I get the IP address of whichever modem I dial into? -- David Kanter djkanter@northwestern.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
