Well, from the description he gave of his network setup, there's probably
some significant differences in your setup. You seem to have a public IP
on your NIC, which I assume means that your modem is a "bridge", decoding
the IP packets, and sending them directly to your NIC. His description of
his network, and the manual for his modem indicate that his NIC is doing
NAT. His NIC has an IP in the 10.xxx.xxx.xxx network range, as does his
modem's internal interface.

I don't want to download the PDF again, but I'm almost positive that it
said PPPoE there...
