I'd agree that this sounds like a likely fix - but the OP hasn't said yet how 
he actually connects to the internet. Does he use an RFC1918 address because 
the modem is already doing NAT, or does he have a public IP and the modem is 
transparent ?

BTW, the modern (as in, for the last decade or two) method is to use "ip" for 
this. ip replaces a number of separate tools.
ip addr add 192.168.100.6/24 dev eth1

"ip addr" or "ip addr dev eth<n>" will show you the currently assigned 
addresses. "ip route" will show (and add/delete) routes. Etc.
