Hi RickI

I have not set up any rules.  I was of the impression that if the spare
nic was green it would just be part of the home lan and I would be able
to access it as I do the other pcs on green.

When I tried it configured as blue, I got the extra "zone pinhole"
option on the endian menu, but was unsure what I needed to specify there
in order to make it work.
