NAT (Network Address Translation)

NAT allows computers on your local network to share a single Internet IP Address.
NAT protects your local network by enabling firewall protection from Internet
traffic initiated outside of the local network. Choose Enable or Disable:
IMPORTANT! If you disable NAT, the Advanced Internet features (Virtual Servers,
Special Applications, and Exposed Computer) and firewall protection will no
longer be available. It is advisable to only disable NAT if you are using the Skyline
Wireless Broadband Gateway as a router or wireless access point.
• Enable NAT if you want computers on your local network to share Internet
access using the Skyline Wireless Broadband Gateway.
• Disable NAT if the Skyline Wireless Broadband Gateway is not being used
to provide shared Internet access.
• Disable NAT if the Skyline Wireless Broadband Gateway will be used only
as a bridge between the wireless and Ethernet networks.
