Need help setting up route

Hi all.

I recently installed AlphaCore 0.9 on my LX164. I was running Red Hat
6.2. Wow! What a difference!

I have tried everything (except the right thing!) to properly set up my
routing table using the files in /etc/sysconfig and the Internet
Configuration Wizard with no luck.

          ----------------                       ---------------
          |  Computer B  |                       | Computer A  |
          | 192.168.0.3  |<---- 192.168.0.0 ---->| 192.168.0.1 |
          |              |                       |             |
          ----------------                       ---------------
                                                        |
                                                        |
                                                        \/
                                                 ---------------
                                                 | Dial up PPP |
                                                 |             |
                                                 ---------------

The output of route -n shows:

 Kernel IP routing table
Destination  Gateway     Genmask     Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.0.0  0.0.0.0  255.255.255.0   U     0      0      0  eth0
169.254.0.0  0.0.0.0  255.255.0.0     U     0      0      0  eth0

What I *think* this should be is:

Destination  Gateway       Genmask     Flags Metric   Ref   Use Iface
192.168.0.0  192.168.0.1  255.255.255.0   U     0      0     0  eth0

How do I fix this? What file(s) do I need to edit? I really need for
these computers to talk to each other again! I also suspect this may be
the reason that printing a simple text file causes ghostview to run
wild.

Sorry for asking such a *simple* question that I should know the answer
to but I can find no online documentation on what each of those files
do! To add confusion to my mind I have found 3! files named ifcfg-eth0
as well as duplicated hosts and resolv.conf files.

Thanks in advance.
