As your rc.conf contents show, you have the same block of addresses =
assigned
to both interfaces.  This is a broken configuration.  You need to =
renumber
one of these networks into non-overlapping space.  I would change the
DSL-modem side to use 192.168.0.0/24, then use 192.168.1.0/24 on the =
LAN.
