Hi Jim, thanks for the reply.

I should have more fully explained the topography.

The router is next door with a wifi link on the desktop machine.  The SBC is , 
of course, on a different subnet. 

I will get the SBC connected with wifi later this was supposed to be a "quick" 
solution to get it connected. 

I'll look into the TCP solution you suggested but I would have thought this was 
exactly the sort of thing that iptables NAT can do. I'm probably overlooking 
something obvious.

Thanks for your help.
