I did set up the Cube with the Primary on LAN and Secondary on the fixed IP 
Internet. I was careful to do it that way because I too thought it counter 
intuitive and needed to follow directions carefully rather than instinct.
I did download the listed rpm from your comments but I'm not familiar with 
installing it. I thought only pkg files could install into the Cube through 
the interface.
I'm still curious about the Cube Firewall Wizard which disappeared from the 
Cobalt site within the last fortnight. Reckless and somewhat irresponsible 
of Sun to do that...
