Erm, I thought napster worked OK through NAT...
Not if both sides are using NAT. And, since what we're talking about here is getting EVERYBODY to use it, it thus stands to reason that this would be the case.
Exactly. Finally somebody who gets it.
NAT is a kludge. IP was made to use addresses, anything else is a kludge and always will be.
Perhaps it's time for this forum and others to seriously worry about IPv6 deployment, instead of finding yet another fix for the fix of a fix to further break a broken allocation model. Anyone who believes that you can somehow permanently slow of freeze the need for ip addresses significantly needs a reality check, IMHO. -- Christian Kuhtz, Sr. Network Architect Architecture, BellSouth.net <ck@arch.bellsouth.net> -wk, <ck@gnu.org> -hm Atlanta, GA "Speaking for myself only."
