So can the server talk to the Internet perfectly fine? Can the other machines talk to the server? Do you need to use NAT to connect the other machines or do Verizon give you multiple IPs. If you need NAT, you should simply be able to set gateway_enable="yes" natd_enable="yes" natd_interface="<name of external interface" natd_flags="-dynamic -deny_incoming" Then if your server is set us the default router for your other machines, everything should just work! You'll need to set-up the IPs of the other machines by hand and you'll also need to give the machines the IP of Verizon's DNS server. But you can begin to check that everything works by pinging around with IP addresses only. Good Luck!
