I have Internet Connection Sharing turned on box b. This is the same as ip
forwarding. It seems like box b knows at least a little bit of what is going
on because box c is able to ping the public ip on box a. therefore, box b
knows how to accept the packet from c, deliever it to a, accept the return
packet from a, and deliver to c. Isn't that right?
