Notes:
-IP addresses are currently hardcoded into the program. A later version
-will add support for an external configuration file.
-The assigned addresses are the following:
-USB: N900: 192.168.253.254 DHCP: 192.168.253.1-192.168.253.253
-Bluetooth: N900: 192.168.254.254 DHCP: 192.168.254.1-192.168.254.253
+IPÂ addresses are assigned dynamically from the 192.168.255.0/24 range.
+Each network device gets a /30 subnet, of which the first address
+will be assigned to the N900 and the second provided via DHCP.
+This gives the following addresses for the first interface (usually
+Bluetooth): N900: 192.168.255.1 Host: 192.168.255.2
+And the second device: N900: 192.168.255.5 Host: 192.168.255.6
If you connect while no GPRS/UMTS connection is active, forwarding will
not be enabled. This is the case when the device is connected to a
