I have done this already and setup as per the mail, 192.168.1.2
255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.1.1

Those are all the IP's that i can use seeing that I do not have access
to any DNS IP's. Optusnet use dymanic only.

Linux box sees the internet ok from the cable modem and other nic
eth1. I setup eth0 192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.0. The cable modem is also usb 
and it sees that as another nic, so I disabled it.
