2. INTRODUCTION
With the explosive growth of the Internet, accessing information and services at
any time, day or night has become a standard requirement for most people. The
era of the standalone PC is waning. Networking technology is moving out of the
exclusive domain of corporations and into homes with at least two computers.
Broadband network access is also gaining ground. However, allowing more than
two computers to access the Internet at the same time means less affordable,
higher costs. Thus, there is a need to share one legal IP address over a single
Internet connection to link the home with the Internet.
