Thank you!  You hit the nail right on the head!

I cleared it with conntrack -F and you were absolutely right.  It's now
working as expected.  I knew it had to be my naivety but I couldn't see
what I was doing wrong.

Out of interest, I can't seem to find a syntax that conntrack -D likes;
is there a tutorial for it anywhere or any docs better than the man page?

Thanks again, Pascal, for that speedy and helpful response.

Regards,
Cliff.
