Timothy and others, Nope, I have my own internal and external IP. As far as I understand it, the NAT rules are set up with a minimum of complexity, and should just translate everything in both directions between my internal and external addresses. I have a good working relationship with our IS guy who manages the router, so if I need to make a change on the router I probably can, but as far as I understand the NAT should not be interfering with anything.
