Josh,

We use quite a similar setup here at the Binary Bar. Difference is that
all our machines are running linux. Since you have IP addresses for all
your computers I think it should be quite straight forward.

The linux box is your router. It's default route should be the gateway,
which is your service providers machine. PPP should automagically
determine the routing for this when it establishes the link.

Your other machines need to have their routing pointed to the router by
default. The router knows that local trafic goes through the ethernet
card and stuff for the internet goes out the line.

I think this will fix it for you, but I know from my own experience that
you just need to check everything over and over until you work out why
it isn't working the way you want.

I guess it goes without saying that the linux howtos are absolutly
essential reading, although you do need to be aware that the different
distributions do things slightly different.
