You really can't. The ISP has assigned you an address from a private
network. They are probably NAT-ing it somewhere upstream of you.
Why did they assign you a 10-net address? Is the router a DSL modem?
If so, you might want to see if you can convince them to switch it to
bridging mode (vs. routing mode) so that you get a registered IP
address directly on your gateway.
