[Scottish] ADSL router with no-nat configuration

[Tam McLaughlin]

I called the suppliers/manufacturers of the router who told me that
I need 3 useable IP addresses for this particular router to work in a no-nat 
configuration. So looks like I would never have got it working with the info 
the ISP gave me. Hopefully they will increate my address range.
