Ed,

Thanks for at least providing confirmation that your engineers acknowledge the 
problem.  Do they have any idea of how to fix the problem?

My line of thinking is that if you read a KN's configuration then save the KN's 
configuration without making any changes then the configuration after re-boot 
should be the same.

Karlnet's NAT implementation is dodgy.  I can't think of any reason to have the 
fields "Public IP Address" & "Public IP Mask" in either Incoming or Outgoing 
NAT setup if your Public IP address is DHCP assigned.
