hi
thanks for the all the patience and support.

the problem was infact gateway line below.
> > #lan
> > auto eth1
> > iface eth1 inet static
> >         address 10.0.0.1
> >         netmask 255.0.0.0
> >         gateway 10.0.0.1  #wrong, erase me
>

after MASQUERADING with iptables and setting up acouple firewall rules, i
am able to connect to the outside world from a lan computer (i had
previously been ssh-ing into the gateway comp from a lan computer, in
order to access the outside world)

of note:
i didn't have to assign an ip to eth0 (the interface that is using pppoe
to connect to the outside world) in /etc/network/interfaces

peace
mic
