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.
