Hi,

I am new to NS and have a question. I have enabled NAT for my workstations when traffic is out-bound. How does NS performing mapping to internal workstation address when traffic is inbound?

Thanks

You have 2 options, you either enable static NAT using a VIP which will in turn allow 2 way communications; be sure 2 use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 for one-to-one NAT's. Dynamic NAT is automatically enabled when an inbound rule is created.

Darren,

Thank you very much. I am trying to use MIP for static mapping instead of VIP. What are the differences between MIP and VIP.

Thanks

Woops.. Sorry, that was a total typo!! A MIP is a one-to one mapping.. Whereas a VIP is a mapping based on destination port number...
