   Since your modem has an IP address for itself, I presume it is some sort
of ADSL NAT device rather than just a modem.

    In a case like this, there are really only two reliable ways to go about
it. Either give the server one NIC and make it look like the other machines
on the LAN (all using the ADSL device as their gateway). Or give the server
Two NICs (one connected to ADSL, one to the LAN) and make the server the
default gateway of your LAN. You current setup is like the first of these.

    If you are running Active Directory you will probably have trouble with
DNS. Set all your clients to use the DNS server on your AD DC, and set this
DNS server to forward to a public DNS service (such as your ISP). So your
network looks like

    Internet
        |
    public IP
      ADSL
    10.0.0.5
        |
    server
    10.0.0.3 dg 10.0.0.5
        |
    clients
    10.0.0.x dg 10.0.0.5 DNS 10.0.0.3

    For Internet users to see your server, they will need to connect to your
ADSL device's public IP. You cannot route private IPs through the Internet.
If this IP address is not static, you will need some way to link the current
IP to a name for them to use. (Google for dynamic DNS).

    Then you need to forward a port or ports from your ADSL device to your
server. If you want remote users to see a web page on your server, you need
to forward tcp port 80 to your server. If your ADSL device does not support
port forwarding, you will need to upgrade it to one which does.
