At our helpdesk we hear customers hanging their wireless router off their NATed PPPoA DSL modem all the time, such that its double-NATed. That things work as well as they do is a testament to the resiliency of IP (and applications and servers) in the face of NAT.

I hear this a lot, but how many "linksys default channel 6" end users really have more than one subnet, or even know what a subnet is?
By definition, every single one of them that buys wireless router, then buys another and hangs it off the first. That happens more often then you would think.
