Your ppp0 connection will be assigned an address by the remote server you connect to.
This more than likely will not be in your subnet, but check with your ISP. The eth0
could then take the 33 address

In the routing table you need only worry about adding xxx.32 to eth0. The default
route to ppp0 will be added when you connect to the ISP given that PPP is set up
properly. Then be sure to set a default gateway to your router on all the other
machines on the network.
Hope this helps.
