Good answer, Nick - definitely the best so far. :-)


Having reread this howto, I've finally found the answer - clear the arp
table on the adsl router.

http://www.sjdjweis.com/linux/proxyarp/:

"The main problem you can run into is that the router will probably
cache the ARP entries for the machines for quite a while. The easiest
way to solve that is to kill the power to your router and plug it back
in."

I rebooted the ADSL router, and all of a sudden everything was working
as expected.
