Have you set up your network file correctly??  There is a file in
/etc/init.d called network this sets up your network.  the file is
pretty self explanatory and is easy to reconfigure.  Check for a line
like:

route add -net 192.168.1.0

you might try adding a route like

route add -host 192.168.1.2 eth0

This assumes that there is only one ethernet card in your system.

Good Luck
