Are the ip adresses on your LAN publicly routable ?
Probably not ?
You will need to set up network address translation to masquerade all
your internal traffic as coming from the public ip address assigned by
your ISP. This requires some trickery with iptables. You will need a
firewall too, anyway.
The shorewall documentation gives some guidelines on how this can be
done, and shorewall is more managable than manipulating iptables
directly. http://www.shorewall.net
