Ok, for starters the Cisco 675 operates in one of two modes; bridging or
routing. I'll make one assumption and that is your ISP is providing you a
static IP address. If they are not, or won't, or will charge you for it, you've
picked the wrong ISP.
Proceeding, if you are running in bridging, the single IP address they issue
would be for the NIC on your Linux box assuming that you have a crossover cable
connecting the router to your Linux system. I do NOT recommend bridging because
you, and everyone else, can place your NIC into promiscous and read all the DSL
traffic on that ISP's switch that you are being bridged into.
If you are operating in routing mode, they would have issued you a netmask of
255.255.255.252 which provides for two IP addresses, one for the router ethernet
port and one for your NIC in the Linux box; again assuming nothing more complex
than a 10bT crossover cable.
Why you are using a private address of 192.168.1.1 escapes me.
