68 Chapter 4 NAT Service
Configuring NAT Service
You use Server Admin to indicate which network interface is connected to the Internet
or other external network.
To configure NAT service:
1 In Server Admin, select NAT from the Computers & Services pane.
2 Click Settings.
3 Choose the network interface from the “Share your connection from:” pop-up menu.
This interface should be the one that connects to the Internet or external network.
4 Click Save.
Monitoring NAT Service
You might want to monitor your NAT service for troubleshooting and security. This
section describes the NAT status overview and monitoring NAT divert activity.
Viewing the NAT Status Overview
The NAT status overview allows you to see if the service is running, and how many
protocol links are active.
To see the overview:
1 In Server Admin, choose NAT Service from the Computers & Services list.
2 Click the Overview button.
Viewing NAT Activity
When the NAT service is running, it creates a packet divert filter in the IP Firewall
service. You can view NAT packet divert events which have been logged by the firewall
service. The logs are useful for network troubleshooting and configuration. To
troubleshoot NAT, you should create the rule manually and enable logging for the
packets allowed by the rule.
