Actually, looking at it, hat page is not great - he is putting MAC 
addresses somewhere in /etc files, uses static IP's and dhcp. (maybe that 
is dynamically set)

My working setup with fixed IP's is definitely different from yours and my 
play setup. With the play setup, I am exactly where you are.

I think I know where the problem is but don't know a solution at this point 
except that this setup (dynamic IP from USwest) worked before only no notes 
were made by the person who did it and the stuff is forgotten ( but he 
said, he changed the IP number).

 From the router, I can ping the internet (name server IP), so the router 
works fine.

the show interface however shows me

eth0  63.227.12.120
wan0-0 63.227.9.254

and I think the eth0 is the problem.

It goes

USwest-GW 
(63.227.9.254)<-->[675]-eth0(63.227.12.120)<-@@@->(10.0.0.2)eth0-Linux

The eth0 on the 675 does not match the eth0 network on the Linux and this 
link needs to be done my NAT. There is a default nat pool 0 which handles 
the  10.0.0.0 area by default, so one does not need to set up a nat 
configuration for this case. If you need different IP numbers on your 
network, I would think that you can arrange that by adding a NAT pool there.

Ok, what I did on the router:

set interface eth0 address 10.0.0.1
write

the   show dhcp server leased
shows me, that indeed, my eth0 on the Linux has signed out the IP 10.0.0.2, 
I can verify the MAC address.

and  the show nat
shows - oh surprise - there is nat happening,

so, let's try to ping a name from the Linux - WORKS!!!
Internet broser - WORKS!

also, make sure you do
set web disable
set telnet disable
write

to prevent telnet and web access to the router from the internet.

and set passwords for user and root - assuming, you did this already 
anyway, but I found myself having the ports open on the router and after a 
reset, the router does not have any passwords (I think).

I don't think your /etc/dhcp is an issue at this point. I think this 
information is set dynamically by the dhcp server/clients and I would not 
mess with that.

Hope it helps,

Samartha
