Paul, et al.:

   Perhaps I've finally seen the problem that occurs only from the portable
to the desktop: it's not picking up the local IP address.

   On the desktop, 'ssh -v typha' produces these lines at the top:

$ ssh -v typha
OpenSSH_7.3p1, OpenSSL 1.0.1u  22 Sep 2016
debug1: Reading configuration data /home/rshepard/.ssh/config
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: Connecting to typha [192.168.55.6] port <portnum>.

and this is why it works.

   On the portable (typha) the third debug line reads:

debug1: Connecting to salmo [127.0.0.1] port <portnum>.

which is self-referntial rather than salmo's IP address of 192.168.55.1.

   1) Why might the incorrect IP address appear?

   2) How do I correct this error?
