<div><br></div><div>Leaco (my ISP) is currently in the middle of rolling out a new ADSL structure. (I got in on the late testing phase.) Because the roll-out is incomplete, all of their customers with permanent IP addresses are still on the old infrastructure. The new infrastructure is on local IPs and all traffic is NATed from somewhere inside Leaco.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So, my machines are behind my router, which is behind another Leaco router. I was under the impression that tahoe-lafs would not be able to easily (without VPN or tunneling of some type) connect to the tahoe-lafs node at this location.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Some time today (the node had been running for about 48 hours), the upload helper on the server (at Rackspace) started being able to store shares on "cat," and retrieve them (access via the web interface on the Rackspace box). The helper is not able to access "Ricki," and shows "Ricki" as offline. The introducer sees both boxes, and shows the IP address of my internal network for both nodes.</div>
