• Additional security and anonymity because your LAN IP addresses are invisible to the
outside world.
If your ISP hasn't provided enough IP addresses for all machines on your LAN, enable NAT
and assign your network a private IP address range. You should use addresses from one
of the following address ranges on your private network:
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
Note: If your network address range uses valid TCP/IP addresses, Internet sites within
that range are not accessible from the LAN. For example, if you assign the address range
199.2.23.1 - 199.2.23.255 to your LAN, a Web server on the Internet with the address of
199.2.23.20 is not accessible.
When NAT is enabled, users on the Internet cannot access machines on the LAN unless
they have been designated as Public LAN Servers.
To enable Network Address Translation (NAT), complete the following instructions.
1. Select NAT Enabled from the Network Addressing Mode menu in the Network
window.
