That address will not go thru a router, it is an assigned private block (192.168.xx.zz) that you can set up for your home networks, so you will need to setup a NAT scheme in the router and let it handle the details. I do that here for 6 machines full time, and they all have free run of the net. And with the router running dd-wrt or one of its ilk, it stands guard, allowing nothing coming in that wasn't asked for. And its been standng guard here for 20 years now with no penetrators. > > Hi, Larry. > > > > The etiquette on open source user mailing lists is to always > > reply to the list, optionally copying the respondent.
