Re: Disabling NAT

Thanks Jakob that makes sense. However, how do organisations configure
their routers with no NAT 
(such as in larger corporations)? It's just that we will need to run some
software in the near future which 
cannot work on NAT'ed connections. So I guess my question is how does one
go about disabling NAT 
but still providing internet access to the workstations on the LAN?

Sorry if this is a very noob-type question but I've never had to configure
a router which doesn't employ 
some form of NAT.

Hi Lex Tre,

By disabling NAT your Internet connection will not work anymore. You
need NAT enable because Privat addresses like 10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x
are not routed in the public Internet. NAT hide your whole LAN behind
your public IP. So you can surf with more than one PC.
