Call me weird for actually reading it again, the umpteenth time I'm installing a fresh Alleg, but I *did* find an error in the readme file supplied. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

QUOTE 17. Network Address Translation (NAT) and IP Masquerading (IPmasq) Configuration: Allegiance does not work behind many NAT or IPmasq configurations. If Allegiance does not work behind your NAT or IPmasq configuration, you should change your configuration to connect directly to the network.[/quote]
As far as I know, that's wrong (and always was, you just don't have to reconfigure your router anymore).

Although I remember to have tinkered around with it once, I don't remember how IP Masquerading works, so I can't comment on that.

Not very important, but maybe you can remove that item next time the installer is updated.

First part is true about NAT. I am not going to address the second. PM TE directly with your posting. (He is in a competition for work the next few days and tied up)
