So I tested the settings using two virtual servers to created the gateway, and it works.  It takes some playing with, but it will eventually work after following all the instructions.

So after the testing, I decided that today will be the day that I set up the box for my home network.
I connected the gateway in between my Comcast Cable Router and my Wireless DLink router (without
doing anything at the console) because I assumed I would be able to get to it via SSH since I knew the
IP of my modem.  Funny enough, my IP must have changed this morning or something’s up, because
I can’t get to the damn thing.  So I’ve been sitting here contemplating what happened.  I’m going to have to wait until the weekend and take the time to do it all in one shot.

Either way, the moral of the story is… don’t do that.   For this project I would definitely set it up while on premises, even if that’s through SSH.  Once it’s set up, then throw it in a closet and remote into it.

Not ground breaking stuff, but a nice lesson I learned.
