      paid attention to make sure not to put anything in the upstream gateway.

      It never even ASKS you for that in the gui wizard... And if you do it at the console it clearly states NONE for lan. You really have to go out of your way to mess it up like that! ;)

      How would the gateway be its own freaking IP... See this error quite a bit over the years - and it never makes any sense what someone was thinking when they do that..

      Glad you got it sorted - another one to chalk up to pebkac ;)

        @johnpoz just for learning sake, if this was a cisco router, how would one set the NAT? anyone happen to know the command? is it

        enable
        configure terminal
        ip nat pool name start-ip end-ip {netmask netmask | prefix-length prefix-length }
        access-list access-list-number permit source [source-wildcard ]
        ip nat inside source list access-list-number pool name
        interface type number
        ip address ip-address mask
        ip nat inside
        exit
        interface type number
        ip address ip-address mask
        ip nat outside
        end
