<font face="Comic Sans MS">Netlings, I connect to the internet
through Comcast cable. I have a snazzy Xfinity cable modem with 4
Ethernet ports and WiFi. I use all 4 ports, the WiFi is flakey.
I run one of the ports to an older Linksys WiFi router running DD
wrt. It's serves upstairs Wifi and Ethernet. I've used NAT for
years and am comfortable with it. I ran ipconfig on a machine
directly connected to the Xfinity cable box. I got listing for
IPv6 and IPv4 addresses. I can dig that. What I don't
understand is why running ipconfig on machines on the other side
of the Linksys router running NAT that I also get IPv6 addresses
and IPv4 addresses. How do they get through the NAT router?</font><br>
