URGENT! help w/ Linux@work

[Cameron Matheson <cameron@thoughtform.com>]

Hey,

I just finished installing Debian 2.2r2 at work (boss gave me 
permission), but I don't know how to get the net working through a 
gateway.  We have a linux server (192.168.0.1).  I added it to the 
/etc/network/interfaces file (as the gateway), but when I try to apt-get 
w/ http (for dist-upgrade), it can't connect to any servers.  Lynx 
doesn't work either.  What else do I have to do?  Please help, as I'm 
trying to make Linux look as good as it is.

Thanks,
Cameron Matheson
