Address Sharing
To share a public IP address with other computers, choose Address Sharing from the
Forwarding menu. The following page will appear:
Figure 3-42: Address Sharing page
The elements on this page are described below:
If you want to share an IP address assigned to the wireless or wired network interfaces,
select the address from the Address to Share list. (In the previous figure, the user
entered "10.0.21.84"). The "Share With Nodes" will automatically be selected (for the
Ethernet interface in this example).
Note 1: Addressing Sharing works for connections originating from a host on the
"address to share" interface/network. Connections to actual IP addresses can still be
made from the outside network; those connections will not use the shared address. To
prevent this issue, make sure the firewall is enabled.
