Well, I've never mixed networks, & I've never tried getting an
internal to access outside. I've an adsl connection connected to
a hub. Now, all four 'puters with static, external ip's connect
through the hup & router (naturally) to my isp's gateway, but
when I'd set the 733's ip to 10.0.0.1, it couldn't connect (of
course) because it's not a recognised ip (though I should think
it would, as it's coming from within my ip's pool of customer
ip's....).
Anyway, short of setting up virtual networking on my Linux box
& making it a gateway, is there any way to use that internal
address & go directly to my isp's gateway in the way these
'puters with external addresses do?

Ah, is that all. Thank you. Now I see.
