O.K. How about some more information?

I'm working with a few folks that have ISP's that assign them a 10.0.0.X
adress via DHCP. I assume that by using 10.0.0.X, the ISP must be doing NAT as
well. These folks want to use NAT as well via a Wireless Base Station on
their end (to get access for multiple client machines.) This Base Station
defaults to using 10.0.1.X to assign it's clients. It is configured to get it's
WAN Address from the ISP - 10.0.0.X.

Well in short, something isn't working, and we're trying to figure out the
problem.
