Assymmetric routing. Sounds good.

So you send traffic out the ppp0 interface and it returns on the eth0
interface? Okay, good.

Two hosts on one ethernet cable together? Got it. Makes sense.

You mean you can't ping from 192.168.0.37 to 192.168.0.1? That isn't a
masquerade problem, if so.

How did you determine that?
If your default route points to the ppp0 interface, why would the
traffic be routed to the eth0 cablemodem?

You should have a subnet that's appropriate for each net, but I don't
think it's terribly important. A mask of 255.0.0.0 for 10.*, and
255.255.255.0 for 192.168.0.* would be adequate for your setup.

Masq doesn't "send" anything anywhere. It merely reacts to a packet
being routed. Your route table determines where to send the packet.
How many times do I have to repeat that on this list? :)

No.
