Mostly, my question is: How do you get the driver station to work through a nat?

You probably can't. The driver station and robot are supposed to be on the same subnet. You
might be able to get a 255.255.255.252 subnet mask to work with some wonky NAT settings (robot is 10.XX.XX.2 -> 10.XX.XX.0/30, and DS is .5 or .6 -> 10.XX.XX.4/30), but getting the network configuration just right seems like much more trouble than
running it through Wine, finding another laptop (any old laptop will do), or dual-booting.
