Re: [leaf-user] One nic router.

[Simon Bolduc]

Some ISPs block the NetBIOS info that Windows PCs spew out.  But I would 
guess that this isn't exactly the best thing to count on.  It is also likely 
that the ISP would frown on a user multihoming the NIC like this - as many 
users end up doing strange things, like running a DHCP server that gives 
invalid (non-routable) IPs to other customers....at least it happened quite 
a few times when I worked at an ISP.

Note that doing this with a Win32 box will also spew LAN network information
out the external interface. I wouldn't do it unless I would have a desire to
have my entire network compromised by a 10 year old.
