Yeah good luck, we put in a few hours on that scenario as well. I think you have to set it up as a road warrior setup. Treat the cable side as if were a dial up connection. I haven't tried it yet but wouldn't mind having another go when I get a bit of time up my sleeve.

Does the dynamic IP really change?  I had the same IP address for 2 years even though it was dynamic.  When @Home tanked I just changed the config to the new IP from Comcast and it hasn't changed in 2 months.

It just changed a week or two ago when I upgraded from 4.1.2 to 5.1.2 (probably cuz the upgrade took so long on my P200 :^)
before that I had the same IP for at least 8 or 10 months.

What config did you change??
Do I have to modify some config file somewhere??

This is what I get in the 'secure' log, and lots of it:
