RE: Nat, IP Filter, Etc.

Art,

I wrote an article on configuring the NAT for www.ignite400.org.  It is
listed on the home page of the site.  It was based on direct communication
with the developer who wrote and read the article for accuracy before I
posted it.  Take a look at that and see if it doesn't meet your needs.

Subject: Nat, IP Filter, Etc.


I have a 170 running V4R4.  It has a PPP dialup connection to the internet
with a static IP.

I would like any computer on my local network to have access to the
internet.  This would just be
for mail and light web browsing for one or two userse so I'm not concerned
with the limited bandwith
to the ISP right now.

Do I need to use NAT?  I've tried to configure it using OpsNav but I am
lost.  Hidden addresses,
Mapped Address, etc.

I'm pretty sure that I don't want static Nat, I want masquerading Nat.  I
want every address in my
local lan (192.168.2.xxx) to have total access to the world.  My PPP line
points to static IP
209.xxx.xxx.xxx.  I also would like to permit TELNET, FTP and WWW traffic
in.  To make things easier
to start, I'd let all traffic in.

How can I set this up?  I've tried searching red books, they describe what I
want to do, but they
tell me to press help while configuring, and I'm lost there.

Thanks.
