THAT DID IT!

Now I want to configure the router as outlined in:

http://www.shorewall.net/two-interface.htm#Wireless

I have instructions from AirLink101 on how to configure the router. They are:

My last question is do I leave the ifconfig eth2 file as DHCP or does it need to 
change? My gut feel at this point is that it should remain as DHCP. Current 
content of /etc/network/interfaces for eth2 is:

iface eth2 inet dhcp

auto eth2


THANKS Y'all,
Jay
