Uh, maybe you mean NATted by the router?

In any event, 192.168/16 is an RFC 1918 local address, and therefore is
*not* what the outside world sees connecting to it when you hit a site.

Your router probably doesn't know how to reach 192.168.10.1 and 10.2;
you need to do the moral equivalent of

route add -host 192.168.10.1 gw 192.168.1.100
route add -host 192.168.10.2 gw 192.168.1.100

on the router.  But since you are getting the initial install fine,
maybe this isn't the problem....

I assume these are really filled in with actual addresses.

Looks to me like the lookup for security.debian.org failed!  Unless your
router is doing some sort of bizarre proxying?  You should be hitting
194.109.137.218 port 80, not 192.168.0.1:3128.  You might try
configuring the IP address in /etc/apt/sources.list and see if that
helps any.

What sort of router *is* this?

Weird.
