NAT Configuration Problem

[Ajeffers]

When I go to configure NAT in INETCFG, &quot;Network Address Translation&quot; is white and I can't configure it....What am I doing wrong?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

I've run into this too. I've set up NAT on NW 4.2 Small Business Suite - no problem. According to Novell TID# 10017720, NAT cannot be implemented with NIAS 4.0 / MPR 3.1 that comes with (intra)Netware 4.11. It is only available with NIAS 4.1 that comes with NW5.x, NWSB 4.2, NW 4.2 and Bordermanager, and is not available separately. <br><br>Does anyone know of a way around this without spending any money???

The basic Netware Internet Access Server version 4.1 (NIAS41) has the ability to route IPX over IP, etc, for frame, PPP, connections.<br><br>However, it does NOT contain NAT and it is 'greyed' out in the inetcfg portion of niascfg program.<br><br>Netware 5 also has the NAT portion of inetcfg -&gt; protocols -&gt; IP - &gt; advanced section 'greyed out' since it was not available until Service Pack 1.<br><br>No easy solution.&nbsp;&nbsp;And personally, I'd LOVE to have an add-in service pack for INWware 4.11 to add NAT.&nbsp;&nbsp;INWware 4.11 comes with NIAS4.0<br><br>If I get the chance, I may attempt to 'build' a service pack by installing selected inetcfg and niascfg files and drivers from a NW5.1 server onto a INW4.11 server to see if NAT can be added.&nbsp;&nbsp;Have not yet tried, though.

Just a follow up to this problem:&nbsp;&nbsp;NAT solved in Netware 4.11.&nbsp;&nbsp;It works well and I have set up and demonstrated a distributed WAN with two 4.11 servers tunnelling through an IP sDSL connection.<br><br>Steps: <br>1) Have each server running NW4.11 or IntraNW 4.11<br>2) Install Service Pack 8a<br>3) Install NIAS41 as an optional product.&nbsp;&nbsp;I downloaded this file from novell.com<br>4) Copy NAT.nlm from a 5.1 server sys:system into the 4.11 sys:system directory.<br><br>Voila!&nbsp;&nbsp;No additional files or support seems to be needed.<br><br>As soon as the NAT.nlm file is found on the target server, the 'greyed' out NAT options were available.<br><br>FYI: additional steps are required to tunnel IP behind the NAT and to implement the Static mode of the NAT.
