Ok, well I've been playing with those settings in nocat.conf.  Maybe it's 
the hardware topology I don't understand.  NoCat should be run from a 
wireless computer connected to the system?  Or is it OK to run it from a 
computer connected via Ethernet to a wireless router?  Do I need a network 
card dedicated to NoCat?  I couldn't find any docs dedicated to network 
topology, and I looked everywhere.

If I don't set the external device in nocat.conf, and I set the internal 
device to eth1, it finds both devices and detects the local network, but 
says it can't find 'auth.nocat.net,' and in fact repeats the fact that it 
can't find it twice.  After this, I can't ping it.  If I don't set either 
device it finds eth0 as external, but nothing as internal.  I other 
settings, not much of an improvement on any.

This was an extraordinarily useful piece of advice, and I thank you for it.

What am I doing wrong?
