I don't think anyone here is going to tell you that, we all like to  
build our own routers, that's why we use DL.

OK so you did set the external port to fetch the IP via DHCP from your  
provider?

What's the output of
ifconfig -a
route -n
lsmod

Are you sure you know which of the ports is eth0?
Disconnect the internal network for now, so that you don't open it up  
the internet by accident.
Did you try simply plugging the cable for the provider in the other  
network card?

Why did you set the default gateway to this IP?

Yeah I could use a beer too. ;-)
