1. When a computer (which is in a different subnet) first attempts to access the Internet, it sends
packets to its default gateway (which is not the Prestige) by looking at the MAC address in its ARP
table.
2. When the computer cannot locate the default gateway, an ARP request is broadcast on the LAN.
3. The Prestige receives the ARP request and replies to the computer with its own MAC address.
4. The computer updates the MAC address for the default gateway to the ARP table. Once the ARP
table is updated, the computer is able to access the Internet through the Prestige.
5. When the Prestige receives packets from the computer, it creates an entry in the IP routing table so it
can properly forward packets intended for the computer.
After all the routing information is updated, the computer can access the Prestige and the Internet as if it is in
the same subnet as the Prestige.
