	Both machines are on the inside side of the router, from which
point of view I presume that it acts like a switch or hub.  I guess
that I have a long enough cable to reach the sub-switch near the
server.  I'll give it a try, but I don't think that there's any
firewalling over the path.  There certainly isn't any NAT.
