*sigh of relief*  Oh good!  I was hoping not all incarnations of NAT
were as nasty as M$.  Anyway I am fixed now but if I EVER have to do
that again I will probably go for one of the available programs.
It's just I put so much time into configuring ICS, DNS and DHCP that
it would be a waste to install another program.

Cheers

Pedro
