Thanks for that.

I don't know if this was a sheer fluke, but when I added that from my laptop the connection to my server was immediately broken, and after some study I found why: IPforwarding was turned off on my server, [root@alfred ~]# sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0 I had to run [root@alfred ~]# sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

Who changes this setting, and why?? I sometimes feel there are little men inside my server either with evil minds or else very pedantic intentions.
