> Why can't they use those apps through NAT? I do it from home quite often. Ever tried peer to peer communication between two peers, each hidden behind seperate NAT'ed networks? (i won't even mention the poorly written application routine) *slams buzzer* sorry, using an intermediate server is typically not a terribly scalable approach. thanks for playing, though. :-) To prescribe such process that you must NAT as a default is insane. Nonetheless, it should be encouraged where feasible. -- Christian Kuhtz, Sr. Network Architect Architecture, BellSouth.net <[email protected]> -wk, <[email protected]> -hm Atlanta, GA "Speaking for myself only."
