firewall/router question
Routers with NAT are
invariably better than most firewalls at blocking intrusions and at the same time relieve the load on the local system. Any suggestions on a router for an old computer on a cable modem? |

firewall/router question
Cuz it interfered with Pogo!! IIRC. I just run with the XP firewall.
It tests out better on GRC's website than the router. I also had ZA and I like the fact it catches outgoing stuff.....but it is also disabled. And the root canal was beyond horrendous!!!!! My gorgeous new dentist (Dr. McDreamy) was quite upset at the pain I was in. We discussed calling it quits and me going to a specialist to be totally anaesthetized, but between my Ativan and his Nitrous Oxide and me allowing him *just one more try* at getting to the nerve, he got there. Seems the nerve was horribly inflamed (not infected) and he had to literately get to it in order to freeze it. It also seems that merely freezing me up to my eyeballs does not always get down into the nerve......I never want to go thru that again!! I have had at least 6 root canals over the years and never, ever has one hurt one IOTA!! I hate getting OLD!! My body is falling apart, lol. Mind you, he said "you have one hell of a pain tolerance".....yeah, yippee!! Figgs "Joan Archer" wrote in message ... If you had it working then, why did you stop using it ?

One on the LAN side of the Router and one on the Internet (WAN) side of the Router. The translation between WAN and LAN addreses is what the Router does. This is the nature of of NAT as well. I shall have to pick your collective brains later. I still have that blasted D-Link Wireless router sitting here NOT connected up. I don't have one clue on this piece of junk and need to put it on before Elayne comes. I did manage to get it working 2 Christmases ago, but don't know how. It is a model DI-764, I believe. Night.....root canal in the morning......wahhhhhh!! Figgs |

firewall/router question
Mike,
Perfectly clear now. Thank you. Mike M wrote: Richard, As I explained in my original post and again by David, your router has one IP address that is outward facing, that is on the internet or WAN side (in your case one in the 67.172 range) and your PC and everything on your side (LAN side) of the router (including the router itself) has an address in the private range 192.168.x.x. Note that addresses in the 192.168 range are what are called private addresses and non routable over the internet, the same is true for those in the 10.x.x.x and 172.16.xx - 172.31.255.255 ranges. That is any traffic sent to such an address on the internet will not go further than the first router it encounters. When traffic hits your router from the internet your router then translates the address to an internal address and forwards the packet (hence the NAT) or drops the packet if it had not been requested by your system (the firewall effect). |
