Thanks Jakob that makes sense. However, how do organisations configure their routers with no NAT (such as in larger corporations)? It's just that we will need to run some software in the near future which cannot work on NAT'ed connections. So I guess my question is how does one go about disabling NAT but still providing internet access to the workstations on the LAN? Sorry if this is a very noob-type question but I've never had to configure a router which doesn't employ some form of NAT.

You need NAT enable because Privat addresses like 10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x are not routed in the public Internet. NAT hide your whole LAN behind your public IP. So you can surf with more than one PC.
