Cisco PIX 501 configuration with no router

["Alan Chan" <alanux () excite com>]

 I saw your posts on the Web about PIX and thought I could get some insights from you guys. Thanks advance...

Has anyone tried configuring Cisco PIX 501 for SOHO security without a perimeter router? 

I need help. 

I wasn't able to get out the Internet and I think mainly because I haven't configured the PAT (Port Address 
Translation) correctly and that I haven't configured the Access-list to allow outgoing traffic. Any thoughts...

Most of the examples on the net and Cisco Press book require a perimeter router (Cisco 1720), but I do not have a 
router. It seems like you have to have a router to get the Cisco PIX firewall to work with DSL. Sonicwall and Netscreen 
SOHO do not require a router... so I thought Cisco PIX would be the same. 

If you've configured the PIX 501 at home or in a small office setting, please help me by providing the configuration 
examples and tools/sites that you use to guide you. 

I would very much appreciate your feedback. Thanks again!
