Thank you Craig! Just talking about the situation made me start rambling around the SNF menus and I found a way to set the addresses of the internal network to be acceptible as sources. At least now I can browse the web and even find out how much Grampa John is lying about himself and his opponent. See! Sometimes just talking about a problem, even if it is only on a discussion list, jars something deep in the grey matter and allows the problem to be solved!
