No, because your LAN is using IPs in the private range, and by
definition these *cannot* be used over the internet. The reason for
that is of course, 200000 private LANs all with the same internal IPs,
if you allowed them to be routed over the net, you'd get everbody
elses traffic with the same IP range on *your* LAN ;-)

You'll have to stick to passing out your IP until I can get a fix in
place for the internet, or until I get my broadcast project on the
road (weeks-months).
