Practically it means, if you have an ISP and a machine through which you dialup to your provider, you can make machines sitting on your local network (ethernet in most cases) reach the outer world (internet) without the necessity to have a routable (official) network. You can give your local machines a network like 192.168.x.0 and tell them to use your gateway to the ISP (which is then running natd) to remap the packets to the IP address of your gateway host. For the outside world it looks like there is only one host 'speaking'. > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- Chris Christoph P.
