Well ... there are several errors in your network.conf file. Taken together,
they would explain your experience that "I can't ping anything" for many
(though NOT all) values of "anything". (Moral: you don't know that you can't
ping *anything*, just that you can't ping the addresses you actually *tried*
to ping. You should tell us what you tried, not ask us to guess.)

Here are the mistakes I spotted on one pass through the file:

>IPFWDING_KERNEL=NO 
>IPFWDING_FW=NO 

Both need to be set to YES (not yes or Yes).

>#NET1_NETMASK=$IF1_NETMASK 
>#NET1_GATEWAY_IF=$IF0_IFNAME 
>#NET1_GATEWAY_IP=default 
>#NET1_IPMASQ=YES 
>#NET1_IPMASQ_IF=$IF1_IFNAME 

These need to be uncommented. Change the second line to read

NET1_GATEWAY_IF=$IF1_IFNAME 

and the last line to read

NET1_IPMASQ_IF=$IF0_IFNAME

You also need a more complete NET0_* block, reading something like this

NET0_NETMASK=$IF0_NETMASK 
NET0_GATEWAY_IF=$IF0_IFNAME
NET0_GATEWAY_IP=default
NET0_IPMASQ=NO 

>#GW0_IPADDR=216.254.79.1 
>GW0_IFNAME=$IF0_IFNAME 
>GW0_METRIC=1 

The first line needs to be uncommented, and the value needs to be that of
your gateway (in your case, I *think* that means 10.0.0.138).

Because I don't completely understand your setup, I am not certain that
these changes are sufficient. (In particular, I can't recall if your using
private-range addresses on the external interface creates a problem in LRP
2.9.8.) But they should move you ahead. 

If you still encounter trouble, I suggest you read the LEAF FAQ answers that
describe different sorts of ping failures and how to interpret them (yours
don't match the choices these; I'm not sure if they are type 2 or type 3,
but I *think* they are type 2, indicative of routing-table problems) and the
entry on what information to include in HELP requests.

10.0.0.150. The network.conf (see below) should be fine, I got it from
someone with the same kind of connection from the same ISP. the modem IP
(10.0.0.138) is stored in a module called ADSL.lrp, which I got from the
same guy, and since this network.conf works for him I assume it hasn't got
to contain 10.0.0.138.
