Many thanks for you reply.

I am still struggling to get this working.  I had it working one time,
but have tried so many configurations that I cannot seem to replicate my
method. hrmph.

Does it matter what kernel version I use? (which one should I use for
install on a Debian box)

What type of IP address should this have?  Public, private, none?
Should it bridge to eth0?  
what about gateway?
