On the other boxes on your network you need to have them point to the Linux
box (internal side NIC) as the gateway (eg. 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1) and use
the DNS addresses that you were given by Comcast (24.16.152.15 and
24.16.152.17).

I can't help more w/ the ipchains ruleset because I use a floppy firewall
