Thanks Robert, your help is really appreciated, which IP address? the church
PC seems to have several, there is the one on it's local network 192,168,2,X
then there is the routers public IP address assigned by the ISP, then there
appears to be a third IP address assigned during the VPN process? Sorry if
this is a naive question!
