    Here is what I would do if I had two computer connected by crossover and
    a ppp connection to the internet:
    /etc/network/interfaces:
    auto lo eth0

    iface lo inet loopback

    iface eth0 inet static
             address 192.168.1.1
             netmask 255.255.255.0
             broadcast 192.168.1.255

    This has worked for me in the past.
    Good Luck
