If, as I expect, the DSL modem still has an Ethernet interface, you can just set up the inside system as though the Ethernet leads to the outside world, with the IP address of the ISP's router as the default route. My ISP works that way. My Freebsd system's external Ethernet has address w.x.y.z/24 and my default route is w.x.y.1. If you don't get a static IP address, running dhclient on the Ethernet interface that talks to the DSL modem should work.
Uhm... this seems to me too much simple and beautifull to be true. Do you use a simple modem and/or you use a router in bridging mode ?
So to summarize you use rfc1843 in the modem/router (but you have to put an ip in the modem/router configuration if I am not wrong).
Then you assign your ethernet card the IP you get from your provider and you use the default peer as default gateway. Correct ?
Is this work in this way ?
