Hi Paul
This was slightly confusing, because when I try to ping the HO(Europa)
machin's private IP (192.168.1.1), I get a destination host unreachable
message, all the while there was no change in the ESPout which remained at
0. However when I tried to ping a particular machine within the HO Lan such
as 19.168.1.10, there is no reply, but the ESPout is going up 1K, 3K, 5K
and so on...

Thanks, Best Regards

Udaiai
