Wow, just wow. I feel like a fool. I have been using the 173.23.x.x subnet
for years. I think I set it up in 2002. I picked the numbers by doing a
search for private IP addresses, but clearly I must have messed something
up or used a poor source. I could not choose 192.168.1.x due to conflicts
with school, and work VPNs. But I guess I overshot and found an incorrect
IP range. I will relayout my network tonight. Good catch, and thank-you.

Yes I do expect the network is not the problem, though it does not hurt
for me to try what you suggest.
