Virtual Private Network. It's used for say working from home - ypu make a VPN to the work computers. It's highly secure. Network Address Translation. Needed because there arn't enough IPv4 addresses for everyone and everything. All dial-up and some DSL ISP's (who give dynamic IP's) use NAT, or you might with a router to connect multiple computers to a broadband connection. Both fall in the home under "obscuring the origion or destination of communications from the transit provider (ISP)" Andy Dawn Falcon _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
