This is because the storage is unaware of the NATTing and cannot respond with the NATTed IP address/es. Multichannel uses the IOCTL command "FSCTL_Query_Network_Interface_Info" which responds with the storage IP address for the purposes of Multichannel. The IP in question is behind a NATTed address and it is unreachable, so Multichannel will fail if it is attempted.

Refer to Configure SMB Multichannel for performance and redundancy for the expected number of simultaneous connections in an SMB session. If the number of connections per session match with what was found in the reference document in step 4, SMB Multichannel is in use by the client.
