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?

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!!

If you had it working then, why did you stop using it ?

You have two IP addresses. 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!!

Mike,

Perfectly clear now. Thank you.

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).

Ouch I feel for you and sorry but my pain level is not that high, not that I
have to worry about that had all mine out in my early twenties g Not a
pretty site for a young girl, toothless vbg

Mind you if that dentist was that dreamy I don't suppose you noticed you
naughty girl g

Know what you mean about getting old, trouble is my mind still tells me I
should be doing this that and the other but my body wont let me, I do try
though honest g

You take it easy and hope you're feeling better soon.
