I think that answers my question - it won't work the way I'm trying it.
As I said, this was just an attempt to test connecting from outside;
guess I'll have to wait until I get to work tomorrow and try it from
there (which is where I really want to connect from), it's just that if
it doesn't work I'll have to wait until I get home to change things - a
bit of a pain.
Thanks for the answer.

Mark
