SYMPTOMS

If you configure network address translation (NAT) on a Windows 2000-based server, the Demand-dial interface cannot be initialized with a destination TCP port number from a client computer that is connected to the private local area network (LAN). For example, if you configure TCP port 80 as the destination port in the Demand-dial interface, the client cannot initialize NAT dialing by using "telnet IP_Address 80."

CAUSE

This problem occurs because Ipnat.sys passes the IP frame address to Ipfltdrv.sys instead of to the protocol layer (such as TCP or UDP).
