That's a difficult question, because actually I've never understood what
happens with the ADSL drivers I use!
Anyway, when I connect to internet with B I get a ppp0 interface (the
ADSL modem is USB so no ethernet interfaces used) and the routing table
setted up as I wrote. Actually I don't know where 192.168.100.1 IPaddr,
I only know that it appears also when I do "ifconfig":
lo Link encap:Local Loopback

The 192.168.1.1 IPaddr should be the address of B in the local network
I'd like to install.
I hope to have been clearer!
If ppp0 is used to connect to the ADSL modem, where is the eth0
used to connect to B?
That's my fault! eth0 wasn't up when I did "ifconfig". Here's the output
with eth0:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:97:CA:2F:41

Can you attach /etc/network/interfaces, and the output from lspci
and lsmod? (Presuming that your ethernet driver is in a module,
and not built-in.)
