Hey,
so you need to add some lines to /etc/config/network. Make it look like the one in step 10 at

Do this while your PB is stand-alone, you do not need to connect it to the internet for this point.
Editing files with vi
Use this cheat sheet for editing when using vi.
About the connection.
First check what is your home router's IP address (the router that you connect to use the internet). In most cases this is something like 192.168.0.1 or similar, depending on settings, manufacturer etc. You have to make sure that your PB's IP address, that is in /etc/config/network,
What this means is that if your home router is 192.168.0.1 then your PB address should be 192.168.0.x (where x is 2-254) say 192.168.0.100 (choose a larger enough number to avoid collision with already connected devices that take up 2,3,4 etc). So just make sure that the first 3 units in the IP address are the same for your home router and the PirateBox, with the last segment being different.
Connect your PirateBox to your home router via an ethernet cable and SSH into the PirateBox at the address as per set in

option ipaddr '192.168.1.1'is in the same subnet.

option ipaddr 'IP address as you have set it'This should allow your box to connect to the internet. Proceed with the guide
