Because they are not using modem in bridge mode and
most routers default to WAN
DHCP. I never refer to a DSL modem as nor use it as a
router.
line -> liveip -> wan ppoe client -> modem -> nat ->
lan dhcp server ->
192.168.0.x -> wan dhcp client -> router -> nat-> lan
10.0.0.x static -> switch
-> multiple clients
So from the router standpoint it's talking to a
192.168.0.x network on a dynamic
IP NOT the live IP it should be seeing if you were on
in bridge mode, on a cable
modem or otherwise connected directly to internet.

modem/router deals. it is set up to DHCP to a router
which has it's LAN side all fixed 10.x.x.x.. while the
router comes in with 192.168.0.2 or something like
that. Not sure if that was configured or if the router
just grabbed what it was given by the modem.
