close. They both have the same gateway address, and both can ping it. 
Line 2 on Mandrake box has different Iface and Genmask -127.0.0.0 and 
255.0.0.0 respectively. Mepis box has two lines

Destination    Gateway        Genmask
192.168.0.0    0.0.0.0            255.255.255.0 ath0
0.0.0.0             192.168.0.1    0.0.0.0             ath0
