Hi Rune, and thanks for sticking with me! You were right all along, of course. I had missed the fact that I wasn't allowing lan interface udp packets - I had assumed I allowed everything from internal network and was only filtering external packets. It's all sorted and working now. And thanks also to Paul and Richard. -- Troy Piggins | http://piggo.com/~troy Peter Anspach's Top 100 Thing's I'd Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord: 99.
