The IP you gave for eth0 is definately an internal network address, not
accessible from the outside world. Did your DSL provider give/sell you a
router? Many DSL routers are capable of providing DHCP services for an internal
network.
You could always go to GRC.com, https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2, and do a
"Sheilds-Up" scan. It's not the most thorough scan in the world, but it'll tell
you your external IP address, at the least.
