That IP from your provider is not relevant in what you describe.

Some servers want to a see a name of a machine which contacts them
and there is DHCP_HOSTNAME variable for such purposes. This is not
likely though if you have one of those "router/firewall" boxes from
a store. But even those often have logs and a way to look at such;
probably through a web interface. Anything revealing in there?
OTOH if this router box is not terminally broken and your NIC
is sending packets then after configuring it with a static
configuration on an internal network used by your router you
should have a connection.
