Whoa - debug mode is NOT what I want. Thanks. I'll limit myself to 10 - 15 sec
in the future.

Okay, my house/office network is 192.168.1.x/24. My workstation is 192.168.1.2
so I temporarily modified my route table like this...
ursa:~ # route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2
192.168.15.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth2
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default polaris.lucii.d 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth2
... thinking this would allow proper communications.
I'm not a "route" command expert so that may not actually work :-|
