You mentioned DSL so I assume this is an Internet connection. The address space you have chosen for your internal network "192.168.0.x" is part of RFC 1918 which is non-routable on the Internet. Your choice for your internal address space is fine, however, you need to use NAT (network address translation) to convert your internal IP addresses to external ones that are known by your ISP.
Look on www.cisco.com for sample NAT configs and you will get the idea.
