What IP address is the Debian box getting on the ppp connection? You only list one IP address for it but of course it must have another one for the upstream connection. And you left that one out leaving us guessing about it. Hopefully it isn't getting another 192.168.1.x IP address there from its upstream. If so then that would create routing problems for it. It would have the 192.168.1 subnet on both ports and that would cause it problems. For simple operation a router needs different IP subnets on the different ethernet ports. If the Debian box is getting a 192.168.1.x address from ppp then that would be a problem. In which case the downstream connection would need to change to a different subnet than the upstream subnet.
