In fairness this blind sided me and since I was totally confused by it I couldn't advise her properly. Apparently my modem does have this loop-back functionality of which you folks speak so I was oblivious to modems not having it. I set hers up pretty much the way I set mine up but she didn't get the same results.

It's working now and she understands when to use which url so I guess it's all good. Coming here helped give me the confidence to believe that I wasn't doing it wrong to begin with.

Well, I hate to take away your excuse for blaming Apple () for something,
It's ok, I've been hurling epithets at Apple since 1993, I'm sure I'll find something else to whinge about when it comes to dealing with them.
