Yes, the firewall's just a client.  I'll only create a new dhcp server on the firewall if it's necessary for the clients behind it to connect to external
addresses.  The "howto" doesn't mention it, so I hope I don't have to do that.  But I've followed the instructions in the "howto" to the letter, and it doesn't
work yet after several hours of futzing around, so I'm baffled.

Yes, I know that, and the other machines on the LAN can ping that guy, but nothing else seems to work for some reason.
