OK, I have downloaded and run the server (Igor), and a PC can connect to it
on either the ethernet or the econet IP addresses (which proves both that
the routing is working and that the A3000 is forwarding). However the BBC
can not talk to it, so the problem is somewhere at the BBC TCP/IP end.

Are there any restrictions on what addresses I can use? You can't specify a
netmask on the BBC, so I'm wondering if it wants an (AUN style?) class A
address.

Perhaps I should move this back to the Acorn newsgroups? Tell me if I'm
getting to far away from BBC micros :)
