Thanks for reply, John -- I've got it sorted out now.

My initial guess had been that it was an issue of port forwarding.  So, 
in the Netgear settings, for the HTTP service I changed 'starting port: 
80' and 'ending port: 80' to 'starting port: 8000' and 'ending port: 
8282' (Plone runs off port 82). Big mistake -- should have left 
'starting port: 80' untouched.  All now works fine:

http://hutchison.homelinux.net (Apache)
http://hutchison.homelinux.net:8200 (Zope/Plone)

cheers

Chris
