How does Win2k Internet connection sharing work? Can I access Computers
_inside_ the LAN from the internet? i found out that different comps in
the LAN expose the same address to the internet. What is that? A normal
gateway should give _every_ host an internetwide IP address. It can't be
a http proxy because other protocols work too and it can't be a
catch-all-proxy, can it? So, is it possible to make services inside the
LAN available to the world (maybe, if there's no other way, port
forwarding)?
