RE: (ASCEND) which service is not usable with NAT ?
Quake and NAT work fine with the "right" setup. I have a "new" P75
running
5.1A software. I only have 1 PC behind the P75 but I have NAT configured
as "single-to-many NAT" (the multiple workstation setup). Regular
network
Quake runs fine. I haven't tried it with Quakeworld yet but I believe
this works
as well. Check out http://www.ascend.com/895.html for NAT
details..........
