Yep, it is - firewall configuration, masquerading. That should do it.

Does your editor support regular expressions? Most only support a
simple substring search.
As Warp said, you also can traverse a directory structure with grep to
find the file(s) that have the string in them.

Cool, thanks! Now that you mention it, I remember hearing that term.

For example, say you wanted a chart of the top ten memory usage processes,
as a pretty chart, in a word processing document.
http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/matthijs/C-40-and-beyond-by-Anders-Hejlsberg/
Go to about 46:25 there. Look at the listing. This says "take the processes
running from the kernel, sort by descending size, put the first ten in
Excel, tell Excel to draw a chart of it, copy the chart onto the clipboard,
and paste it into Word." And it's about as many lines long as those number
of sentences. *That* is what I'm talking about in terms of complex files.
And you can do that from every scripting and compiled language on Windows
that supports COM, and I've yet to find one that didn't.
As you can see, grepping thru a directory of excel spreadsheets for ones
that use both "sin" and "cos" in the same formula would be a pretty easy
program to write, if you needed something like that.

I do wish all the vendors (not just Linux vendors, but all vendors who
deal in this stuff) would decide on one term to use for this, because it
is quite confusing. :-)

In Dolphin (the default file browser for KDE), the columns seem to be very
hardcoded, and it has no plugin system. It doesn't even have built-in
features for eg. showing image size in pixels.
I don't use GNOME. However Nautilus seems to have a full plugin system and
it looks pretty powerful:

They did. The problem is that the term they picked is "NAT with DHCP".
Or "Network address translation with dynamic host control protocol", which
isn't really much better.

Looks like it does much the same thing as Windows, except without so much
documentation. ;-)

Umm...I've said this to you lots of times: Use Midnight Commander
(although for this problem, there are lots of simple solutions).
