Here's my route listing right now as we speak. You cannot  use a 
192.168.x.x as a gateway. The
public internet will ignore you or worse, get mad at you.

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use 
Iface
66.192.158.2    *                   255.255.255.255 UH    0      
0        0     ppp0
192.168.1.0     *                   255.255.255.0       U       0      
0        0     eth0
127.0.0.0       *                     255.0.0.0                 U

My apologies for the jumbled table My new e-mail needs some peaking & 
tweaking
