Your post confuses me - has your DSL provider placed a router physically at your home, and does this router, that is in your home, provide NAT and your private IP addresses? I would very much like to know how you would make a P2P connection from 192.168.1.2 at one ADSL place with generic NAT to 192.168.1.2 at another ADSL place with generic NAT without involving a server in the transmission. And please tell me if you have patented this solution - I am sure that Napster, BearShare, Gnutella etc. would like to know how you do it, because right now NAT is one of the major problems in P2P software, and noone seems to have other solutions and IPv6 (eliminating NAT), nerds configuring their NAT router (circumventing NAT) and server-based traffic (not P2P).
