hjlbx 2 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Hello, ipconfig indicates the system IPv4 address and Default Gateway are 198.168.* Does this indicate that the cable router is also a NAT router? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fabian Wosar 390 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Yes, it does. If your system only has IP addresses that belong to the private address ranges you are using a NAT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hjlbx 2 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hello Fabian, The utility of the firewall remains for allowing/blocking app connections. Than You. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fabian Wosar 390 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Yes, that remains. But incoming connections will always end up at your router. So there is no way for us to even see them unless they are forwarded, which they usually aren't unless you set port forwarding up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
