I had tested with the above and 192.168.1.1 is the default route.. I
have no problem going into the internet via the router on 192.168.1.1. I
can ping both the public and local IP in LAN, but I am cannot ping the
public IP from another network.

The machine does not have a firewall yet, so i guess the public IP is
not routed out, therefore unreachable.
How do I route the public IP out?
Thanks
There are a bunch of problems here. The first is that your default
route should be through eth0 with the gateway your ISP gives you.
(12.73.1.<something>). If you want the machines on the 192.168.1.0
network to be able to access the Internet through this box, you will
also have to set up some NAT iptable rules. Take a look at the
firewall packages and see what on is easy for you to understand -
NAT is normally set up as part of the firewall.
IP Masq is running fine on the nix router 192.168.1.1 and no problem
accessing the internet. But i need this machine to have a public IP so i can
access to it remotely on ssh and ftp
