   I'm in Aurora Colorado tonight :) nslookup doesn't show anything useful   
   but whois returns Verizon Business. They have the 174.192.0.0 -   
   174.255.255.255 block.   
      
   At times the browser or some other program will report 'your network   
   connection has changed' or a similar message. I never bothered to check   
   but I assume whatever magic happens in Colorado reshuffled the deck and I   
   got a new WAN IP.   
      
   Life is too short so I never dug deeply into the whole NAT thing beyond   
   what I needed to know,
