I would suggest Dachstein. It is very easy to set up and has very good documentation. As far as not being able to ping anything outside and receiving martian errors, you may of had the cables reversed. That is, the cable modem may of been connected to eth1 instead of eth0. You can find Dachstein on Charles site http://www.lrp.steinkuehler.net Robert Chambers
