There are three different types of NAT (Static, Dynamic, and Overloading). The one you're most likely talking about is static NAT. It provides a one to one mapping.
NAT stands for Network Address Translation

Its like a firewall

LAN - Local Area Network MAN - METROPOLITAN area network WAN - Wide Area Network
The network part of an IP address indicates the network to which the host belongs. The host bits or host part of an IP address points to the actual device that has an IP address on the network. It can be a computer, printer, router or any device with an IP address that has the same network part.
That is mainly used for larger networks. For a home network, just assign the IP address manually.Auto-obtaining an IP address requires configuring a DHCP server - the machine that will assign those addresses, out of a specified address pool.That is mainly used for larger networks.

You have a class C network connection. Since the subnet mask was not specified I can't tell if it is a traditional class C or if the network has been subnetted.
A router can improve network security if it includes the use of NAT (network address translation) and/or a firewall.
