Looks ok. A bit unfamiliar, but ok. You forgot to tell the route.
Must be a problem there.

You should probably use 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.1.20 as ip adresses and use
a netmask of 255.255.255.0. Also please try
ftp://mirjam.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/pub/debian/network*.deb
(you also need the dpkgconfig*.deb file there) in two or three days time.
May the Source be with you.
