Hi Thomas + Rich,

Thomas - Thanks for the pointer to the firewall section of the manual.  
I'd missed that.  Port forwarding would work but only if I had a static 
external ip address for (or ddns enabled on) my router.

Rich - You are quite right!  It probably isn't sane to have servers with 
wandering ip addresses ;-)  I guess I'll have to go the whole hog and 
get a fixed ip address.... Doh!

David -
