GetExternalAddress not working

Hello,
I am using your library and the function GetExternalAddress()
is not returning an error but it isn't returning a proper result either, it just gets stuck at that part of my program.
gatewayIP, err := gateway.DiscoverGateway()
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln("Can't discover gateway: " + err.Error())
} else {
client := natpmp.NewClient(gatewayIP)
fmt.Println("Created a new client!")
address, err := client.GetExternalAddress()
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln("Can't get external address: " + err.Error())
}
}

It sounds like your gateway does not support NAT-PNP. In that case it will take about 128 seconds for GetExternalAddress to fail, due to exponential backoff as specified by the protocol. I'll add that to the docs.
