well first, I am not a network guru, however I think that. . . nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf would be 192.168.1.1 ( assuming by modem, its a DSL/cable modem + router) gateway in /etc/network/interfaces would be your host computers ip Then, you BBxM would be any IP in the same range as your host computer. 192.168.1.4 would work fine as long as there was nothing else on the network with this IP already.
Anyhow, sounds like you've solved your issue already, but you did have some funky settings anyhow. SO they already needed fixing.
