The only instruction I skipped was this one (step 14), due to the fact that every time I issue it, I lose connection to the modem I'm trying to set up ;-) ... the way I'm setting things up is by having a direct connection to my laptop via an ethernet cable plugged into the modem (a MikroTek DynaDish 5):
You might be having trouble pinging my site because I fussed around with it and probably screwed it up. I'm going to do a full reset and try again.
Here is the full script I use for setting things up. I add the ssh keys for remote logging later, when I can get a net connection (which only happened once when I was accidently going through my home router):
