Well my DSL modem keeps 10.0.0.1 for itself and starts handing out 
addresses in the 10.0.0.* range. However, if I set my machines to hard 
coded addresses in the 10.0.0.* range the DSL modem copes. So you 
really have 2 things to try. See if it will hand  out more than one 
address and see if it will work if your various machines just assert 
address in the private ranges.
