[wplug] Port Forwarding in Verizon Router

[Mike Sussman]

Greg,

"I can't identify all of the hosts."  What do you mean?  I have just 3
hosts on my Verizon network: 2 coax hosts: IP-STB1 and 2 and then my
secondary router for the rest of my home network.  I believe the coax
hosts are for my television service, so I believe I can identify "all"
the hosts.
