NYcram, In fact I've got portforward bookmarked in two different places on
my tin box. I pretty much have used them to set me up step by step in the
past. Reading a couple of the MX help sites it appears that I'm suffering
from 'loopback', the inability of some routers to allow you to see yourself.
Now I've got to refind where I saw that and see if it offers detailed help.
Thanks for trying to help.
