When I first set up the dsl modem, it did give my computer a private ip
address. I looked through the paperwork that came with it and figured
out how to make it give me a public ip address.
Thanks for the suggestions.

I never like to mix uses but it can work though. My recommendation
would be to take an older piece of hardware and install SME Server (if
you want a directory server/file server for windows),or one of these
firewall distributions if you dont: smoothwall, endian firewall, or
ip-cop.
On SME Server the windows machines need a registry patch (especially
Vista+) http://<localgateway IP>/server-resources/regedit/
