[lug] talking to a 10.x.x.x box

[Trever C. Trader]

The cisco 678 has built-in daemons for NAT and DHCP.
Any device that you hook up to it obtains a lease from the DHCP daemon
built into it and does automatic NAT. 

If you get into the 678 (via console or telnet) you can do a "show
interface" and it will tell you the IP address of something like Serial0 
on the 678 (that's your external IP address).  

Hope this helps.
