I had to add the following to etc/rc.d/rc.local:
echo "Setting up eth1..."
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 <your.static.ip> broadcast <your.bcast.here> \
netmask <your.netmask.here>
/sbin/route add default gw <your.gateway.here>
Hope that helps--after reading your message about forwarding x through the
firewall I FINALLY was able to myself!
