Computers in Network Cannot Access Each other NAT after connecting WNR2000v5 to WISP
After connecting the router to a WISP I am unable to communicate between 2 W10 computers on network. troubleshooting detected a NAT. A tracing route revealed the first 2 entries were private ISPs. How do I resolve? Will changing to WMZ solve the conflict?
Thanks, Bob

Connecting how, exactly? Is the WNR2000v5 the gateway to the ISP, or
is there some other gizmo involved?

How are these computers connected? (To what?) What are their IP
addresses? (On a Windows system, open a Command Prompt (CMD.EXE)
window, and issue an "ipconfig" command.)

What does that mean?

"traceroute"? "IP addresses"? What are these "private ISPs"? As
usual, showing actual actions with their actual results (error messages,
...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or interpretations.
(Copy+paste is your friend.)

What does "WMZ" mean to you? Which "the conflict"?problem has been solved. fyi NAT is Network Address Translation, tracert is cmd to troubleshoot tcp/ip problems- google it

Thanks, but I knew what NAT was. My question was what you were
talking about, not what NAT meant.
> tracert is cmd to troubleshoot tcp/ip problems- google it
Ok. "traceroute" for Windows.

That's about as informative as the original problem description.
