If you put valid statements into Oxygen's resolv.conf, then
you can sit down at the Oxygen terminal and type
nslookup www.google.com
and it will return the correct address, assuming the network
is up and the default gateway is set correctly on Oxygen.
A valid resolv.conf looks like this:
nameserver 206.13.28.12
nameserver 206.13.31.12
search schalit.net
The search line says that, if I type at the Oxygen prompt:
nslookup ftp
it will automatically append the .schalit.net part of the
search statement and then try to look that up as in
nslookup ftp.schalit.net
So that's the story with /etc/resolv.conf.
Now onto your internal network. To get your LAN computer
functioning correctly, you need to assign them ip addresses
which are on the same subnet as the internal nic. Thus the
whole internal network is on the same subnet. I think you
did this already, something like:
10.1.2.3/24 Internal comp
10.1.2.4/24 Internal comp
10.1.2.5/24 Internal comp
... ...
10.1.2.254/24 Oxygen fireall
or something like
192.168.1.1/24 Internal comp
192.168.1.2/24 Internal comp
192.168.1.3/24 Internal comp
192.168.1.4/24 Internal comp
... ...
192.168.1.254/24 Oxygen
Next you have to set the Default Gateway on the
LAN computers. You would set that to 10.1.2.254
if you were following my first example.
Next you have to set the primary and secondary DNS
on the LAN computers. You set those to be the
same ip addresses as the ones you put in resolv.conf.
So now all your computers have the same dns addresses
listed in their network configs.
Once you do that, you should be able to sit down at
the LAN computers and
ping 10.1.2.254
ping 63.194.213.179 <--- that's me :)
ping 216.239.35.100 <--- that's www.google.com
ping www.google.com <--- and finally by name.
Does it all work now?

It that doesn't work on Oxygen, if you can't ping 63.194.213.179, which
is my ipaddress, then Oxygen still needs work to get the default route
setup, I think. Check that with
ip addr show
ip route show
grep GATEWAY /etc/network.conf
and paste the output into your reply for us to see.

Ipsec does not come as part of the 1.8.0 floppy. It's an add in package,
as Lynn mentioned.
Good Luck,
