SUMMARY

Microsoft Proxy Server does not currently perform Network Address Translation (NAT) as described in RFC 1631.

MORE INFORMATION

In brief, Network Address Translators are capable of pairing local IP addresses and globally unique addresses. The main advantage of NAT is that it can be installed without changes to routers or hosts.

For information about obtaining an RFC document and other known issues about Windows NT and NAT, please see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
