 Chapter 12 Firewall

NBG334W User’s Guide

1 A computer on the LAN initiates a connection by sending a SYN packet to a receiving 

server on the WAN.

2 The NBG334W reroutes the packet to Gateway A, which is in Subnet 2. 
3 The reply from the WAN goes to the NBG334W. 
4 The NBG334W then sends it to the computer on the LAN in Subnet 1.
