	Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, it seems my 2Wire is still doing NAT because my
	wireless routers IP address is 192.168.xx.xx, not in the same
	range as the 2Wire's IP address. I'll power cycle both in a bit
	to see, the 2Wire is supposed to hand out public routed IP
	address's to all new connections. I don't want to right now
	because it's being used.

	I'm happy to document, hopefully helping someone in a similar
	situation. It's also much easier to undo step by step that way.
