Sorry about the post in the IIS, I was orginally posting in regards to SUS,
so I appologize for that. But in response to your post, Yes the computers do
have ip addresses, however they're private, like you pointed out.

I could scan the computers from the private side, but that would negate what
I'm trying to do....which is scan computers that are behind a router from one
pc.

The problem w/ port forwarding is that MBSA scans through ports 139 & 445,
but if their are multiple computers behind the router, the router doesn't
know what computer to forward port 139/445 to. :(

Thanks for your info...
