We are interested in using the new inexpensive "personal firewall"
devices for our Telecommute employees.  We use NT systems with an
AFS Client and either DSL or Cable access.

These Personal Firewall devices typically use NAT for the protected system
behind the Firewall.  We have tested such a system and we find that
AFS does not work (or we have not made it work).

Will AFS work when the Server is outside the Firewall (on the Internet)
and NAT is used for systems behind the Firewall?  Assuming that we do
not Block the AFS packets (I think ports 7000 to 7003).

Does the AFS server need to know the actual IP address of the
AFS client?
