What kind of WAN connection?

I don't have a net5501 on hand for testing at the moment, so I cannot 
verify any of that information.  The net5501 is a new hardware platform 
and everything may not be configured ideally yet.

Take a look at dnsmasq.static which should be on your key disk.  If it's 
not, copy the file from /stat/etc to /mnt/kd.  There are examples of 
persistent dhcp entries in there.  dnsmasq is responsible for dns and 
dhcp functions (and can do tftp as well with some configuration 
changes).  dnsmasq is well documented on the internet as well, but I did 
try to make some good examples of what is possible in the dnsmasq.static 
file.

If you use Arno's iptables firewall, it's fairly straight forward and 
well documented.  If you use astfw you can create your own iptables 
configuration by copying the existing astfw to your keydisk and writing 
iptables rules yourself.  There are many resources for writing iptables 
rules on the internet.  See what you can find with google.  Actually if 
you check the mailing list for Astlinux, you'll probably find examples 
of this in the archives.
