Hi Mike, I checked that setting and it was already set to the "Gateway" mode, so my problem must be elsewhere.
I also have cloned the MAC address of my laptop, but I'm not sure how that helps? Would using the MAC address of the router rather than my laptop be an option?

It's a setting on the Advanced Routing page. By setting it to Gateway, it will enable the NAT so that more than one computer can access the internet by designating the RVS4000's LAN address as the computer's Gateway address. It's a fairly common setting on the Cisco small-business class router/gateway devices.
