A networked device shares a single IP address with a separate networked device. The networked device examines a port number of a received IP packet. The networked device routes the IP packet to an application on the networked device if the port number of the received IP packet corresponds to the application. Otherwise, the IP packet is routed to the separate networked device. The networked device also originates IP packets including as an origination address an IP address assigned to the separate networked device. Alternately, the IP address may be "shifted" to between the networked device and a separate networked device by blocking transmitted IP packets originati ng in the separate networked device, and originating IP packets, which include as an origination address an IP address assigned to the separate networked devi ce. |
