This looks suspicious to me. Which entry does that line belong to? Have
you tried running it manually? You may try putting it into
/etc/sysctl.conf (but I am not sure whether sarge already reads this
file).

This looks weird. If eth0 is card connected to the internet (or modem)
you don't need to set any addresses or routes by hand. Additionally, I
would put that iptables line in another script and put it in
/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/.
