In the early days of the Internet, each computer connected to the Internet had its own IP
address. With the explosive growth of the Internet, the number of distinct IP addresses is
starting to run out. It is no longer practical for an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to provide its
customers with individual IP addresses for each component the customer wishes to connect to
the Internet. Rather, the ISP normally assigns each customer a single IP address, and a
router implementing Network Address Translation (NAT) is connected to the Internet
connection (sometimes referred to as the Wide Area Network, or WAN, connection) on one
side, and to the Local Area Network, or LAN, on the other side. Each computer on the LAN
side of the connection will be assigned its own IP address, typically in the ranges 192.168.x.

The WAN connection will be assigned a single IP address by the ISP.
Generally, network address translation is performed by a router that is connected to the
Internet via a Cable or DSL connection on the WAN side, and to the local area network (LAN)
