SOTFWARE ROUTER

Windows Software Router Diagram
The NAT32 Windows Software Router
is a Microsoft® Windows application that gives all computers on your private LANs direct Internet access via one or more Internet connections. NAT32 runs only on the computer with the Internet connection(s) and acts as an enhanced IP Router for the other computers on your private networks. The computer running NAT32 retains totally unmodified Internet access, and all applications on that computer will continue to run as before. On your other computers, most of your networking applications will require no reconfiguration, they simply pass all Internet packets to the NAT32 router, which forwards them to the Internet.

NewThe NAT32 Windows Software Router now supports a Safe Mode (also known as the Host Transfer Mode) that reliably protects the Windows TCP/IP stack from all unsolicited Internet traffic. Tests done from the ShieldsUp site now report the NAT32 machine as being 100% invisible on the Internet.

The Host Transfer Mode also allows Windows applications running on the NAT32 machine to use multiple Internet connections simultaneously. This feature alone makes NAT32 one of the most powerful IP Routers available for any platform.

NAT32 is the only package of its kind to fully support multiple Internet connections, multiple private LANs and multiple private LAN gateways. It surpasses Microsoft® Internet Connection Sharing and XP SP2 Firewall in performance, flexibility and security and is well-suited for use in large networks with complex private LAN topologies.

NAT32 supports Connection Sharing of Modems, VPN Connections, OpenVPN Connections, 3G (UMTS) Mobile Adapters, ISDN Adapters, Ethernet Adapters, TAP-Win32 Adapters, DSL Modems, DSL Routers, Satellite Adapters and Cable Modems. Each of your private computers is configured to use the NAT32 Router's unique private IP address as its DNS Server and Default Gateway. NAT32's built-in DHCP Server can configure the private computers automatically if you set them to "Obtain an IP address automatically" in Control Panel, Network, TCP/IP Properties.

NAT32® is distributed as a combined version for the following 32-bit Windows platforms: 95/98/SE/ME/NT4/2000/XP/2003.

A Windows CE 5.0 version is under development.

NAT32 has integrated support for the External Link cFos Traffic Shaper and Firewall Version 3.0.

Use NAT32 and cFos to stream in video and audio without interruption, even when lengthy file transfers are in progress.
