Originally posted by Brother EdwinWe did that at our house just recently. It isn't difficult at all. The thought of tying up a large range of apparent IP Addresses seemed very silly to us, so we installed Net NAT to perform a different kind of concentration. Instead of translating just the IP Address, we also translate the TCP or UDP Port Numbers. These are also called service numbers. In our version of the address translation table, there is only one entry, and that is a single Apparent IP Address. And, instead of a pool of apparent addresses, there is a pool of "Apparent Ports."
Hi.
Basecly I have my imac computer downstairs with brordband. But my xbox360 is upstairs on my TV.
What do I need to do to connect my 360 to the net?
So, when a console in the private network initiates a TCP session or a UDP exchange, Net NAT assigns a port from the apparent port pool and then substitutes the apparent address and port for the actual address and port before sending the message to the public network. In a similar way, the apparent address and port in a message from the public network are replaced with the actual address and port before the message is passed to the workstation. The actual addresses may be RFC 1597 private addresses, or someone else's public addresses that were used before a connection to the Public Internet was anticipated, and must be kept to avoid the agony and expense of reconfiguring every computer in the network. This part is actually pretty easy.
The instruction manual should guide you through the rest of the process.

"We did dat at our howse jus recintly. It isnt dificult at all. The tought have toying up a larje rang of aparint IP Adreses semed very sily to us, so we instaled Net NAT to pirferm a difrent kind of concintracion. Instead of traslating just the IP Adres, we also tranlite the TCP or UDP Port Nummbars. These are also called servise numbers. In our varsion of the adress traslacion tabble, there is only one ntry, and that is a single Aparint IP Adress. And, insted of a pool of aparent adresses, dere is a pool of "Aparent Ports."
