RE: At wit's end with IP filtering

That was it!  I needed the *DFTROUTE.  I think I understand now - anything
responses to requests from a local address are just sent back to that
address.  But anything to a "non-local" address must be specifically
directed to a "hop", which in this case is my router.

Things are slowly coming clearer.  Thanks a bunch, Larry.
