it depends upon how you are connecting (or wish to connect) and I
would need a sketch of your network. For example
i you may have a network (coax or utp) connection to your
192.. net and a ppp to the 63... net
Alternatively they may be both be "in house" on separate
nets.
ii if the latter you will need two NICs on your RH machine
with a suitable "route add" command to direct the
traffic to your gw. Take a look at "man route"; there
are some examples
iii If the 63.. network is not availabe "locally" - i.e
cannot be connected to by a NIC then other senarios begin
to abound - depending upon if you wish a simple cisco 803
to the job or another linux box.
I really would need to get a better appreciation of your network;
the combinations multiply from here-on

I presume that you have setup the ifcfg-eth0 file with a 192.. ip
If you're trying to connect the the 63.. by ppp then are you
acquiring a 63.. IP for YOUR end of the ppp connection. type
"netstat -rn" to check
If such is the case then the instructions I gave previously should
do the job; otherwise if you're not getting a "local" 63.. ip then
thats were the problem lies
If you are connecting ppp run the command "tail -f /var/log/messages"
and monitor the progress of the connection. You should see a
local and remote ip assignment which will be confirmed by a
"netstat -rn"
There are quite a few combinations here but for the moment this is the
best I can do
cheers
