Well, assuming that people like me already have a 192.168.x.x network at 
home NATing onto the Internet, what'd be wrong with the wireless box with 
it's 10.x.x.x IP NATing to the 192.168.x.x space?  I know NAT's a pain but 
what can  you do in this instance?

I agree, but I am reluctant to start fuzting with my NATed and firewalled 
home network which is working really well at the moment.  Stupid protocols 
for not allowing NAT.  ;)

Anyway, it's up the the end user how they go about NATing and protecting 
their systems from malicious wireless hackers.
