          Well, then obviously your firewall rules are completely broken. Kindly post screenshots of those.

                  My guess is that its something really basic.  Like:

                  1.  You have your LAN and WAN lines swapped.
                  2.  You didn't activate DHCP on the LAN
                  3.  Your WAN isn't grabbing an IP
                  4.  Your internet is down.

                  Its something this simple, almost certainly.

                        I'm always a genius when the person who needs help solves their own problems…    :P
