Then why are you connecting through the router? How about:


ISP --> Eth0 -- Eth1 --> router --> home lan
      '---computer---'


This way, your computer with Eth0 and Eth1 connects to your ISP via ppp0 
and Eth1 is on your home lan. You can then use the router as a switch or 
a router. But you will need to do dns masquarading in your computer 
connecting to your ISP.
