Thank you very much for the information. This may just be a question of which firmware revision my Lanrover has. At v4.54 I'm not able to find any options for NAT. I've just downloaded the latest firmware, v5.7, fortunately I have the HE model which supports that revision. And hopefully it will provide that functionality. Thank you all for your patience. Addendum- This Lanrover does have three ethernet port connectors, but only one ethernet interface. There is a selector switch next to the connectors.
