ACK! This ASA 5500 is kicking my ***!

Any help would be appreciated! I ran a Raptor Eagle NT for a small college
about 9 years ago, but a lot's changed.

I have a new Cisco ASA 5500, and a hard deadline, and I need to get just
BASIC traffic configured, the simplest setup just to get operational.

One protected inside network with just a few hosts and a public IP range...

One outside interface to our Internet Gateway (Cisco 2811) with a registered
address range.

The interfaces are configured. I've confirmed connectivity by pings from
the firewall.

All interfaces can be pinged from the network they're on.

I've defined interface PAT to and from both sides of the device.

The outside interface has a security setting of 0, inside is 90.

I've gone into device administration, and allowed icmp on both interfaces.

I can NOT ping through though. I can't even ping the outside interface of
the firewall from a host on its inside network.

I'm using the graphic interface right now.

Is there anyone out there that could give me just the BASIC steps you would
use to get a simple inside/outside network setup going on this firewall?

I have about 20 bundles of PDF printout I pulled from the web, none of them
seem to help.

Getting desperate here! I just need to get this basically operational until
I have time to really research and get up to speed!

Ingot
