When I tried taking out the -alias, the satellite office was no longer able to reach the Internet (they are on a different subnet than the home office), and I still wasn't able to ping any machines besides the host machine. Are all of the items I mentioned below needed (routed, enable proxy, etc.) needed? Are there any that I missed?
