Hello list, I have a thinking problem... If workstations in a private network have set up a gateway, but the gateway has no NAT-deamon running, are the workstations not able to be attacked? What happens if these workstations behind this gateway are serving unprotected services (like shares on Windows XP Home Edition which are NOT password protected), are they also not be able to be attacked? I understand that if these workstations wants to request answers from outside the private network are never getting answers, but is it possible to see and attack theses workstations from outside? With regards Stevan Tiefert
