that shoots my understanding in the head then.
If I follow it correctly, within the router, there is a translation table that goes something like this.
All numbers are fictious

ISP only assigns one I/P address
192.168.2.1(PC1) equates to 24.25.26.27 (ISP assigned)
192.168.2.2(PC2) equates to 24.25.26.27 (ISP assigned)

So on the return trip, how does the router send the packet to the
correct PC given that 24.25.26.27 might have multiple
equivalences ?

If the ISP were to assign multiple I/P address like this,
192.168.2.1(PC1) equates to 24.25.26.27 (ISP assigned)
192.168.2.2(PC2) equates to 24.25.26.28 (ISP assigned)
then I could see how it works.

I love computers.
