I have noticed some strangeness in the Hercules interface which I haven't had time to look at. I can connect to it only once from an external machine. All other connections must come from the local machine via the loopback, and using only the IP address (127.0.0.1). I kind of figured it had something to do with not having a proper DNS set up on my internal network, so I had put off spending any time on it until I had that issue resolved.
