Thank you for the informative response Brian, The instant you mentioned the giving routes to the GNAT Boxes I realized what was going on. My level of understanding thus incrementally increased.
My reason for attempting this in the first place is that the server I am implementing has an imbedded web server for remote access control. The basic server function works f\just fine through NAT but for some reason, the imbedded web server apparently does not get NATed properly. I can access it on the PROtected network via the EXTernal Internet address but when I do, the browser "redirects" to the internal 192.168.x.x address. More surprising than that is what occurs when I attempt access to it on the Internet via a separate route. Once again the browser is redirected to the internal 192.168.x.x address which of course does not route. My reason for attempting the IP Pass Through then was to get the was to get the 192.168.x.x address out of the picture in hopes that things would start working (albeit by brute force). Now that I realize that Pass Through will not work, I guess it's time to get the packet sniffer going and solve the problem in a correct manner. Thanks again, Bian.
