[clug] that darn streaming TransACT

[Francis James Whittle]

You must have a route to the 192.168.0.1 and not have a machine on your
LAN with that address (Highly annoying for many people I know, but
that's the way it is).

On my system I just need to do a "route add -net 192.168.0.0/16 dev
eth0" to get this, but if you have a 192.168.0.0/(16|24) network already
then I have no idea what could happen....
