Well, I have a desktop too but that's a different machine and lets not
make things even more complicated. So the firewall is the server machine,
in the original post I attached most of the relevant info but here it is
for the firewall (my server machine)

I know. But first it'd like to have IP access to my firewall. After I can
ping my firewall/server, then probably i'll be able to use the nameserver
too.

That what I have.

I suppose your gentoo desktop box is directly connected to the internet.
In my case there is the laptop in between.

I have vmware on the desktop, but you don't wanna see the whole diagram of
my home network... ;)

Uva, I know that plugging the Z into the server/firewall would be the
easiest, unfortunately I have put it into the farthest place and is not
really convenient.
