RE: IP network address assignments/allocations information?

[Paul Ferguson]

Hi Tony,

Well, the statement below is not true -- I sit behind a NAT/PAT
device and Real PLayer works just fine for me. I've only found a
couple of applications that will not work for me (e.g. ICQ, NTP,
SNMP), but then again, I'm not a gamer so I can't speak to the
broader range of applications that it _does_ break.

In any event, I've always personally been of the opinion that
if applications don't work in the face of NAT, then the
applications themselves are functionally deficient and should be
fixed.  :-)

Cheers,

- paul
