   Mike,   
      
   Thanks for the reply.  No, not so obvious to me about the VPN!  :-)   
      
   Anyway I was afraid of that response regarding ICMP traffic / PING but I'm   
   dealing with a request to make it happen.  I know that doesn't overcome   
   reality most of the time.   
      
   A VPN is out of the question.   
      
   What if I set up a route from a specific external IP address to a specific   
   internal IP address?   
   Oh! I found a setting that will do exactly that under: "Firewall" ......   
      
   Thanks,
