> I think most ppl dosn't care about NAT as long as it works for them. I think that's probably true. But the widespread deployment of NAT also means that people don't ever get a chance to see what new apps they could run if NAT weren't there - the presence of NATs means there's so little market for such apps that they can never succeed - either that or they require expensive workarounds. For instance, somebody has a product that lets you access your home machine from anywhere on the network. It works by having your home machine maintain a connection to a central server, through which requests can be tunnelled back to your machine. Keith
