Re: Remote Desktop

Thanks for your prompt response on my questions. I am fairly new on
networking so pardon me if I ask questions that are too basic.

How do I find the NAT and NIS in my router? What are the other jargon or
words for the NAT and NIS. I checked the website you mentioned but I still
cannot figure out my problem.

Is it possible for you to do a remote assistance on my desktop to
reconfigure my router?

Thanks,

Mike
