Unless the machine running iptables has a NIC with a IP address of
213.194.242.198 I don't believe it's possible with ipchains.

The MODEM is the interface between 213.x  and 10.y networks.

If you created a DMZ by moving your LAN to say the 192.z network (or a
different 10.y network) then you should be able to get it work with 2
NICS in the ipchain machine.

In this case, you would route between the 10 network and the 192
network with 2 NICs and SNAT the 10 network.

The WAN would be the 213.x network, the DMZ would be 10.y, and the LAN
would be the 192.z network.
