That was an old restriction related to the way it was implemented wrt FTP.
No such restriction exists in current (I'm running 5.1Ap6 and 6.0b2 with
addresses 10.20.x.x on my home network).

Should have no problems, as that's pretty much how I'm setup. I have it that
way for a different reason - my IP address in the office LAN is 10.20.10.x
and when I go home, to avoid changing stuff around, I keep the same address
(I use a portable/laptop). I have the P75 IP address set to the same address
as my default gateway is in the office too. NAT takes care of all the rest.

Not necessary.
