cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward it should be 1 not 0
else echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
If the adsl router is a bit of an unknown, or has limited diagnostics I
would check this as you described, one of your hosts on each subnet, ping
and pass traffic between them to test. If the host on the 192.168.1.0/24
subnet has a web server you could test your transparent proxy too.
