WooHoo!!  It's working for the most part, I have just one more
hurdle.  I was able to tweak my firewall settings to allow all the
basic stuff in and out for the internal machines, but one machine I
connected is my laptop from work that needs to be able to make a VPN
connection to works intranet and exchange servers.  Anyone have a
clue what I would need to allow to get that done, or if it's even
possible.  I would actually like to just open it wide up for that IP
if its possible.  Any ideas?

Thanks for everyones help thus far!!
