The IP's you are using (correctly) are not "transmitted" over the internet.
Since your provider will probably NOT support putting ALL of your machines
on the internet, your best bet would be to set up Linux to handle TWO Lan
cards.
Linux can then become a router of sorts. (just don't tell this to the ISP)
Your ADSL modem connects to the new lan card with it's won ISP assigned
address.
Your old setup can get access to the lan using ip_masq. You only appear to
have ONE machine connected to the internet.... your Linux box. The other
machines can access the internet using IP masq to hide their INET access.
Start by reading the HOWTO's concerning multiple LAN adapters, recompiling
Linux, routing, IP_masq, ISP hookup, etc.
