Ah ha... it sounds to me as if you are behind a router.
(not connected directly to the ADSL modem)

ADSL modem ---> Router ---> machine #1
                       \
                        \-> machine #2

So..... here are the settings you'll need for Arachne.

--- in arachne.cfg ---

[profile]
Profile ara-rtr.ACF
Connection READY
Hangup NULL

[dialer]
Dialer NULL

[tcp/ip]
IP_Address 192.168.1.100  ;<-- IP assigned to this machine by the router
IP_Grab IP address set to
NameServer 192.168.0.1    ;<-- IP of the ADSL modem
AltNameServer 
Gateway 192.168.1.1       ;<-- IP of ADSL modem gateway
AltGateway 0.0.0.0
Netmask 255.255.255.0
TCPconfig PPPRTR.CFG

--- in ppprtr.cfg ---
my_ip = 192.168.1.100     ;<-- IP assigned to this machine by the router
netmask = 255.255.255.0
gateway = 192.168.1.1     ;<-- IP of ADSL modem gateway
sockdelay=60
hostname=arachne
mss=1600
