You must not use this IP address unless it's assigned to you. If you do, 
    and this address is officially assigned to someone else, replies to 
    your outgoing packets will go to the owner of the address.

You must do one of two things: 
1   Obtain an official IP address range:  your ISP will arrange this and 
    set up routing to reach your box.
2   Use IP masquerading or a firewall. This allows you to connect a LAN 
    through a single IP. There is a how-to on the subject, but I don't 
    have its address to hand. last time I went looking, I found it through
    altavista.digital.com in a few minutes.

Use 192.168.0.* instead.
