Network Address Translation (NAT) became helpful when IPv4 was running out of IP addresses to give. Using NAT in a Local Area Network (LAN) allows you to have one IP address given to you by your ISP (207.68.35.18 for example) which would be your WAN or Outside IP Address. If you needed to access a server inside your LAN when you are not connected to your LAN, using NAT would allow you to set up an IP address for that server and allow you to remotely use that server outside your LAN.
