Re: [72attendees] Update on the Hotel's Guestroom Network

What I've just noticed about the HOTEL NAT configuration is that every
TCP connection gets a different IP address.  There's no consistency, and
certainly no long-term bindings.  So every time you hit an HTTP server
you're hitting it from a different source IP.   This is wreaking havoc
on my ability to read webmail because every time my source IP changes I
get logged out!  I suspect that your UDP VPN solution is being hit with
the same problem.
