No he wouldn't, he's already connected to you through your vr0 interface network range: 195.58.183.77 netmask 255.255.255.248 or is he? Why are you trying to use a gateway of a non directly connected network? What are you trying to do? Is your ISP running any Interior gateway protocols that you can take advantage of? >My ISP claims that the configuration above works trivially under >Linux and Windows NT, I would like to see that. Mr. Smith is correct. Why not set your gateway as the next-hop address to your ISP upstream within the 195.58.183.77 network? Another option would to run an IP tunnel between your network and the gateway using gif or nos-tun. The whole question is, What are you trying to accomplish?
