No, the external interface should not have an IP! (it is documented
somewhere, forgot where). I have the same setup with the same ISP
and modem (The following is from RedHat):
        DEVICE=eth1
        BOOTPROTO=static
        #MTU=1452
        MTU=1200
        ONBOOT=yes

Note the missing IPADDR and NETMASK variables.
The MTU is a result of some problems I had, I'm not sure if it solved
the problems or just a left over that needs to be cleaned up (will
test someday).

Hope it helps.
