Very nice guide to augment quickstart docs.  Will pass it on to the
admin at work, and may help the OP; although looks like he may have the
same single-Ethernet setup I have.  For a simple end-user firewall to
backup in case any bad guys get through the router, will stick with
Firestarter, now that it works again.

Thanks for being so helpful.
