Hi Chris,
    I knew that diagram was going to juggled.....sorry. All the IP addresses were assigned by DHCP. I did not do anything manually. I do have good news though. I am going to follow this guide. Thanks to the other person who suggested it.

I have read it and even though I am using 5.3, it seems to make sense to me to do it step by step this way. So instead of trying to setup a stand alone work station to learn on, I will make it a gateway router. Thats what I wanted to do in the first place. As a matter of fact, a couple of years ago someone on Linuxhelp (radiogeo.....good ole George), helped me setup a Slackware router/firewall box out of a 486DX 50. It worked great. My main computer took a dump and I never hooked the router back up when the box was built. So after a couple of years I am back at trying this UNIX thing. 
    I'll let you know how its going from time to time if thats ok. I have only one question about this. If I still want to use my wireless router as a switch.....will it work?
                                                    Thanks,
                                                     Buddy
