problem setting up a local network

[Tommaso Moroni]

Hi!

I'd like to install Debian on an old pc (hereafter called A) using an ADSL connection I have on another PC (hereafter called B). The problem is that after configuring the network on A it doesn't "see" B: the interface is correctly configured but a simple ping to B fails.
I've already checked the addresses (A is 192.168.1.2, B is 192.168.1.1) and I think the problem is the route table on B. In fact to manage the ADSL connection I use the italian version of the drivers at http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/. The command route on computer B gives this output:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.100.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
default 192.168.100.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0

I think it lacks a default route for the eth0 interface, but I cannot add it as there's already another one and it's needed for the ADSL to work.


Thanks in advance for help!
