I was told this by a DSL tech. My understanding (limited as it is) is
that since the router is a router and not a bridge, the LAN side of the
router is automatically set to 10.0.0.1, the WAN side is set to your
static IP address either manually or by DHCP. Your eth0 card in your PC
that is tied to the LAN side of the router needs to be set to the same
addressing scheme as the LAN side of the router. If the router is set to
10.0.0.1, then the nic needs to be set at 10.0.0.2.
Don't ask me to explain why. That's what I was told. Since my setup is
working for me I would think it would work for Steve.

If you're running a DHCP server on the router then your static IP address
will be assigned to the WAN side of the router. If you're not running a
DHCP server then you need to manually program it into the router, not into
your local configuration.
