Subject: [9fans] IL and NAT
Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2000 15:48:43 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.BSF.4.21.0011171538220.43314-100000@cassandra.foobarbaz.net> (raw)

I've been tinkering with connecting to my fileserver over IL
at home via my DSL line across the Internet and through a
Cisco router acting as a firewall and NAT.

The router keeps responding with ICMP host unreachable, but
I know I can get to the machines in question.

I've opened a TAC case with Cisco to see what they had to
say. Having probably never even heard of IL, the engineer
has responded that he doesn't think IL is "NAT compliant".

My gut response is bollocks, but is there any reason that IL
wouldn't work through NAT other than Cisco hasn't written
the code to handle it?
