I believe Ronneil is correct!
look at the diagram:
1) PC client<-------------->proxy server<------------>Internet
192.168.0.2 (Ethernet LAN) 192.68.0.1 tel. line
dial-up
2)
Cisco router<--------->Cisco router
Private Network
The question is, are private IP addresses routable or non-routable?
192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254 are not routable if the setup is like the
no. 1 diagram. diba?
What about the no. 2 diagram? They can be routed.
IP Masquerading is one common form of the NAT protocol, which can hide a
number of private IP addresses behind a single global address. This will
allow a large number of private IP addresses on a LAN to be able to
connect to the Internet using one global IP address. The internal requests
appear to external Internet sources as originating from the single gateway
machine assigned the global IP address. (Source)
If I'm wrong I will accept it. You need to correct me of course.
Be thoughtful of the opinion of others. There are three sides to a
controversy yours, the other fellow's and the right one.
E - xpress yourself after you know the facts.
Bow! Cheers!:)
