I thought that nobody gives every pc on their network live IPs because we're out of IPs? Why wouldn't you give everything its own unique IP and then limit access via firewalls? NAT just makes p2p a huge pain.

I think that he means that he is putting everything on the private IP range: 192.168.* .* .

Which means you'll have to use NAT to control your teapot from the office.

Are you brave enough to put your tea-making facilities in the DMZ? That's laying it on the line, man. Personally I think I would reverse proxy my teapot through nginx, I don't trust a TCP/IP stack embedded in a kitchen appliance.

Sounds like a good MAKE Magazine project: DIY web server in a teapot, with ironic status code. Extra points if you build it in Utah.

Oh dear... Might have to build this now hmm? I'm not sure it counts if it's got a arduino in it and a cat 5 sticking out the back. The water is also an issue.
