Yeah, but it works so nice.  As to the router, it probably hasn't been 
told to NAT the amigas address.  Not knowing what router, I can't 
advise.  And I don't do that much multiple address NATing in mine 
either as I'm using iptables on the older linux box for that.  My 
path to the router from here is via a nic using a 192.168.xx.xx 
address, then through iptables to the second nic in the old machine, 
with iptables doing the NATing between the 192.168.xx.xx address of 
nic #2 to nic#1 at 192.168.yy.yy.  Then the router NATs the 
192.168.yy.yy address to whatever the PPPoE in the router obtains via 
DHCP for my real DSL address.  Absolutely transparent from this end, 
absolutely opaque from the other end.

Needless to say, with that much state controlled NATing going on, even 
the older machine with all its active firewall rules, has only logged 
one attack attempt, and that one came in thru a previous router, a 
Seimans, that the hacker destroyed 2 weeks after I installed it,  But 
the linksys I replaced it with has never even let a SYN packet thru.

Funny thing though, the attack actually came from a verizon DNS server 
according to the logs I captured.  I'd bet they were running an old 
version of bind, and got rootkitted.

As far as I know, I'm invisible to the outside world.  Run the linux 
'nmap' scanner against my current 151.205.10.15 real address and see 
if you can find me.  I'll try to plug any holes you can find.
