Odd, I've never had it set up NAT for me automatically (at least so that it 
worked in MDK, but my experience with 4.x is limited, so maybe its something 
I missed. Honestly I never was too concerned, NAT is pretty easy to set up! 
Overall BTW 4.0 is very nice. Still a few bugs, but it works good when it 
works, it even converted my 2.4 win2k disk without any real problems, and the 
checkpointing features are now much easier to use! Well worth the $299 price 
tag if you need it.
