It is related in https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2015/10/msg00722.html that ... it turns out (according to the ISP out there) that my associate is receiving via a radio link a single address (192.168.100.3) from the DHCP server of the ISP. An ISP hands out an address in a private range and it is assigned to the external interface of a router? I do not understand this but know I have much to learn about networking. Any enlightenment in the offing?
