I strongly suspect that my question is a result of my failure to 
understand routing and networks, and is not specific to m0n0.  However, I 
will ask here (and as an excuse, I'll put a little m0n0 question in at the 
end).

I have m0n0wall successfully installed on a Soekris net4501. 
Installation was easier than I'd anticipated (the problems were finding a 
null modem serial cable, and one very stubborn screw to open the net4501).

For the moment, I am trying to do something very simple with it.  It's on 
a small private network which connects to the world via a DSL modem 
(static IP).  For starters I want simple NAT functions and DHCP services.
At this point, I'm just trying to replace my Linksys BEFSR41.

The problem appears that from my LAN and from the m0n0 itself, I can reach 
(a) my gateway provided by my ISP.  (b) my ISP's nameservers, and other 
things that are on that router's local net.  But I can't get passed my 
ISP's external router.

I do not have these problems when using the Linksys.  If there is some 
basic tutorial I should read please point me towards it.

BTW: If traceroute had been available along with ping as a diagnostic 
tool, I would have gotten to this point a bit sooner.  So, that is one 
feature request.

Cheers,
