Bruce,
I am an idiot in terms of what you write above, would it make sense for 
you if I gave the machine a public IP and let you have access to it for 
checking the above? Alternatively due to my limited understanding I 
would probably need a little guidance. If it's just a row of commands 
then no problem.
