Setting up a SonicWall TZ300 with Comcast Business Router

I am hitting a mental road block here. I am needing to configure a TZ300 for Virtual Office access. I have a Comcast business router with an ip. How do I set up my WAN interface for access? I have the LAN setup 192.168.1.1/24

Ok, I have a TZ 400 here and at an office I take care of.  So, is your WAN side working currently?  If you are attached to a Comcast Cable Modem, just plug the TZ 400 into the WAN port and you will get a NAT address from their Cable Modem.  Ideally, you would call Comcast and have them put the Cable Modem into Bridge mode to allow your SonicWALL to hold the public IP Address, whether you use a DHCP provided on or you use a Static One.

So then, once we have the internal/external connectivity working, tell me about the "Virtual Office" access.  Are you using a specific program? Are your remote users connecting through something like RDP or TeamViewer or some other program?  Once we know what program or application it is, then we can create the objects and policies for that to happen.

We are connecting to a comcast business router with wifi. I have the static ip info from comcast. So I need to contact them to put it in bridge mode? I want the TZ to hold the public ip so end users can login to it by ip address. then I will be using netextender to connect then have users use RDP to there desktops. or maybe bookmark rdp sessions using ActiveX.
