Hello Joe,

I'm learning all the time; (old geezer/little knowledge = dangerous !!) 
I have a PC as a router behind my ISP's ADSL modem and like to write my 
own iptables, yes, I know it's easier to use a " proper " router but I 
would miss all the fun and frustration <smile>.

I followed Doug's E_Mail info and I am now getting the address I want, 
but, there's always a but isn't there ?, I cannot ssh directly into the 
PI2 from my " downstairs " PC although I can ssh directly to the BBB's 
so I've got the routing issues that you mention.  It's not a big deal 
and a job for another day as I can connect out via the internet from the 
PI2.

Regards,

Ian..
