So I can't really do a bunch of Port Forwarding to a defined host. The Glo's "Static IP" is not static.
Most routers have a way to reserve an IP from the DHCP pool for a PC/device. That gives the effect of a static IP. As Kobo has no way of manually setting the IPs, this is what I have done so that I have a known IP all the time.
