Netgear seems to not use that too.There is some trend about this feature.Maybe it s unsecure and we dont know about it.
At least they should of removed the inteface switch if it s useless now.

Same problem here. I unchecked "Filter WAN NAT Redirection", but it still won't do it. I have several laptop users that travel in and out of the home network and I would like to have the external address work from both.
Your basically breaking all kind of services that need NAT, like SIP protocols, teleconference, remote desktops, xbox, and good knows what else.
If you are making a voip call from a LAN device it needs to send the public IP on the packets, not the internal LAN like it does now, this is normally done with STUN but any normal routers replaces the private LAN IP with the public one when it hits the router.
Im not sure how would you call it this a feature, I would call it a massive mega huge bug. No wonder people want it working like it was before. Now I understand why nothing seems to work behind WRT, not even basic stuff.
After the IPTABLES solution I have now discovered this also changes the WAN source address into the router LAN address. This messes up my webserver statistics and my auto block features, since all users now appear as the router IP.
I cannot find a solution for this. Any thoughts? I probably need to change the iptables command insome way, but I have not been able to see how.
