Can't get to gateway machine w/o it forwarding to internet

I have IP forwarding attached to my linux box at 192.168.1.10.. I can ping
all my local boxes from that box and all boxes on the local lan can get to
the internet using .1.10 as the gateway machine.

The ipfwadm rule I am using is as follows, with the link out being a ppp0
link

-F -a m -S 192.168.1.10/24

This forwards all requests in and out of the lan to the internet on the
linux box..

I CAN get to the 'net via the linux box as well...

The ONLY thing I cannot do is ping the linux box from anywhere on the
lan...i also cannot ftp to it...

Is this normal? if not, how do i assign another ip address to that
ethernet card on the linux box so i can get to it from the lan?

Is this expained well enough?
