Thanks, Ian.  I knew that I could count on somebody.

Unfortunately, as I said, in my experience ( admittedly nothing like
someone like, or even Aaron himself ) I have always had very little luck
trying to do U-turns in firewalls.

As you say, you can easily connect with, and transfer data with your
server, using its "internal" address, 192.168.123.456 ( or was that 7?
).

I would recommend that you stay with that method, and stop trying to
access that machine from Inside your network using its Outside address.
