- assigning a service address to a service provided by a server of a private network that is accessible, via a gateway, to a client computer;
receiving communications from the client computer at the gateway over a public network using a public network address;
receiving communications from the server at the gateway over a private network using a private network address;
wherein each of the public network address, the service address, and the private network address are different from each other;
wherein the service provided by the server to the client computer is independent of a location of the client computer; and

15. A method, comprising:
-
accessing a service provided by a server at a first time via a first gateway, the first gateway associated with a first Internet Protocol (IP) address, and using a second IP address as a service address at the first gateway, wherein the first gateway communicates with the server using a third IP address via a private network, and wherein duplicate address detection is turned off at the first gateway; accessing the service at a second time via a second gateway, the second gateway associated with a fourth IP address, wherein the second gateway uses the second IP address as the service address, wherein the second gateway communicates with the server using the third IP address via the private network, and wherein duplicate address detection is turned off at the second gateway; and wherein the first IP address, the second IP address, the third IP address, and the fourth IP address are distinct IP addresses, wherein the service is accessible via a portable computing device, and wherein the service provided to the portable computing device is independent of a location of the portable computing device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
