DHCP, yes.
        NAT, no. The NAT code only activates when a packet traverses from
one interface to another. Your packets would be going in the Ethernet
interface, and straight back out again.

Subject: CISCO 827 question.

Hi All.

I have a spare CISCO 827 router, and I have the following question.

Background:

I am now on cable modem, hence don't need the CISCO 827 as a modem anymore.

THE QUESTION:

Can I use the Cisco 827 as a router for my cable modem, thus picking up it's
dhcp and nat/natpt functions.
