What exactly does "routable" mean?
I have been told that an [Ed]Ubuntu LTSP Server has no open ports by default and so does not need a firewall, and that a firewall will not only make installation more difficult but the LTSP community may also be unable or unwilling to assist with troubleshooting. But they also say that the "clients must not be connected to a routable interface".
Is there any way that my LAN, connected to the internet by a router with NAT firewall, could be inadvertantly made routable?
What sorts of services could I run, or devices could I connect, for example, to make it routable?
