How to run NAT32 as a Service

NAT32 can be run as a Service on all Windows platforms.

Be sure that NAT32 is correctly configured and registered before attempting to run it as a service.

click Config Service Settings in the NAT32 Menu.

• a dialog box appears which shows the command line that will be used if you check the Run as Service checkbox.

• modify the command line to suit your needs, then set the checkbox.
• Click OK and the appropriate registry entries will be made.
• On NT and 2000, administrator privilege is required.
• To uninstall the NAT32 service, uncheck the checkbox.
• Next time Windows is booted, NAT32 will not start automatically on NT or 2000.
• You must open the Control Panel Services Applet and set the Startup Type to Automatic if you require this feature.

• You can modify NAT32 arguments at any time using the NAT32 Service Settings dialog box.
• To remove the NAT32 service on NT and 2000, run the following program located in your NAT32 directory:

service.exe -remove

Notes

Under NT and 2000, you have the option of running a service with or without Desktop Interaction:

• If Desktop Interaction is disallowed, all NAT32 output is written to file nat32.log. To interact with NAT32 in this case, you may either run the NAT32 Telnet Daemon and then Telnet to NAT32's IP address, or you may start a Java-capable browser to interact with the NAT32 HTTP Daemon listening at Windows' private IP address.

• If Desktop Interaction is allowed, a NAT32 Icon  will be placed in the System Tray if a user logs on within 20 seconds. That user will then be able to interact with the NAT32 Console. Alternatively, run program show.exe (in your NAT32 directory) to display the Console.

The NAT32 Service will not survive a logoff if Desktop Interaction has been enabled.

To terminate the running NAT32 service, type shutdown in the NAT32 Console, Telnet Console or Java Console.
On NT and 2000, you can also start and stop the NAT32 service with the Control Panel Services applet or the net start and net stop commands.
