Re: Port scans through NAT router?

Bull***. For lack of a NAT mapping, the router would have no idea where
to forward the traffic. Many-to-one NATs are stateful by nature. If you
persist in claiming such, I suggest you present a layer 2/3 packet
capture to that effect.

I'm guessing that this mysterious traffic is Windows multicast uPNP or
netbios name requests from the Netgear.

If that OP comes back and indicates that the IP(s) are WAN IP(s), then what the Hell are you going to say then?
