Looks like your using IP Masq, which means you have multiple network cards
in the machine.  A year or so ago I did the same thing, using eth0
for my Internet connection while I used eth1 for my Intranet connection.
I came across the same sort of problem when it came to DHCP.  I found
back then (hopefully changed by now) that dhcp could not work all that
well with multiple network cards.  Sometimes it would look at the wrong
card for the connection.

I would love to remember how exactly I fixed the problem, but toying with
it and help from a friend got it up and running.  If I recall (??), I had
eth0 as Intranet and eth1 as WAN, but changed them so that dhclient would
go to the first card it found.


Another thing I can't remember is if you have a dynamic IP address, then
does that mean you have to use DHCP to access the 675?  I'm on cable modem
right now and believe that is how it needs to be done (though I have a
static IP..)

Sorry I could not be of further assistance.  One last question though:
can you use eth1 and eth0 to connect to the LAN if you wanted.  (Just
curious if its the network card itself thats your problem)
