Ugh.  It still doesn't support link.local, or gateway
autodiscovery.

8-(.

It would be nice if one of these days, it would support
link.local based IPv4 stateless autoconfiguration, and
check for 192.168.0.1 and do the same in 192.168.0.x
before failing over to link.local so that Windows gateway
machines would "just work" when using Windows "Internet
Connection Sharing".
