Advanced NAT

WinRoute allows simple NAT (Network Address Translation) and also more complicated settings. You may specify, based on source or destination IP address of the packet, that NAT would be provided with some other IP address (i.e. packets would look as if they originate from another IP address) or that NAT won't be performed at all.

Such settings are of great importance, with settings of more complicated networks where:

advancednat

Source IP address, Destination IP address

You may perform advanced NAT settings based on the IP address from which they are sent (source) or where they are sent (destination). As a source you may enter Host IP, the whole network (limited by network mask) or the group of IP addresses previously created in menu Settings->Advanced->Address Groups.

Do not NAT

If selected, packets passing through the selected NAT'd interface that match the src/dest'n criteria will not be NAT'd.

Do NAT with specified IP address

If selected, packets passing through the selected NAT'd interface will be translated to reflect the source address of the one specified by this setting. Note that the interface performing the address translation must occupy the address you have specified in this option. This can only be accomplished on NT/2000 systems where more than one IP address may be assigned to a single interface.
