After stopping the VPN, I ran both again. <br> <br> Just so you know the machine is reachable, I am ssh'd into the NAS box and I also have it mounted and copying files over with rsync. Could my router be blocking this connection? I kinda leave it at the default settings. Read somewhere those are fairly secure. <br> <br> I'm working in garden a bit so may come and go at times. I'm sure you doing other things too. :-D <br> <br> Dale <br> <br> :-) :-) <br> </body> </html> --------------72D3B3E915EB0650D4D1B9E0--
