In the Cameron Hall loft, you are assigned a WAIX private IP, with
which you can get to anywhere on WAIX with a non-private IP. So
somebody (PARNet) is routing the traffic back from real IPs to the
WAIX private IPs. *breathe*

It doesn't make sense that they'll route _back_ to the private IP
space but not within it.

I honestly can't see how on earth PARNet can blame AARnet to blame
Optus... AARNet have nothing to do with WAIX, surely? Wouldn't it
all be in PARNet's domain?

Confuzzled,
