Not to kick a dead horse, but here's the deal.  Your DSL router
actually has two IP addresses.  There's the external one and the
internal one.  The external one is the one that your ISP gives you;
it's bound to the phone port on the router.  The internal one is the
10.0.0.1; that's bound to the ethernet port.

This way, you setup all of your other machines on the 10.0.0.0 network
and you're okay.  That's all I'm gonna say, no more :)
