Did I mail you privately? I don't see my own post on the list. My mistake then.

I meant that maybe his provider wants him to use Unique Local Addresses. But it can be what you say.
The ISP would not expect a user to use NAT. NAT is a hack to get around the IPv4 address shortage. Unfortunately, it's become so common that many think it's the normal way of doing things. It's become a curse, as it breaks things.
