First thought is the modem doesn't have a route for
192.168.5/24. But I'm not sure if the firewall is masquerading.

I don't think eth1 of the firewall should be be receiving arp requests
for 192.168.1.1, sounds like the computer thinks 192.168.1.1 is
directly connected to it's network, not via 192.168.5.254
