That last trick seems to work.  I can get it to work once in a while with
those tcp options but it is
tricky as I have three machines and two of them use eth0 as primary network
interface and one
uses eth1.   But by fiddling with network options and perhaps moving a
cable or two I think I can
get it all to work    Thanks much for the tip.
