The problem with penning a few steps is the steps required depend
entirely on the steps already taken. How you set your gateway up is
likely different from the way I would do it. Your best bet is to
understand what the instructions you followed actually did. Then you
can use that knowledge to make changes.

Otherwise, search for a Linux Users Group in your area, where you have a
good chance of finding a live person to help you out.
