# A: Unfortunately, some protocols just won’t work through Network Address Translation. They may require multiple machines on each side of the firewall to be able to address each other directly, and NAT doesn’t allow that. Or they may require that machines on the internet be allowed to access unpredictable ports on your server, which is contrary to the way Coyote’s firewall works. In those cases, your options include: A) Getting another IP address assigned by your ISP and connecting the machine that uses this protocol directly to the internet. B) Not using the software that requires that protocol.
