Kapil: I feel you are suggesting me the right way. Because it is fast, I have reconstructed the keys and reestablished the ssh connection between the two machines.
Then I entered the config of the the Zyxel Prestige 660H (cable connection ADSL) via http, giving the password that I used at the first connection. DHCP shows a table with 3 columns and two rows Host Name / IP Address / MAC Address with data for the two machines (IP address corresponds to "inet addr" as from "ifconfig", MAC Addess has the hexadecimals correctly, while Hostame is empty. I tried to put in the "hostame" of the two machines, though it was as write forbidden. I operated from Gnome/Iceweasel as user. Is that a problem of permission or should I look elsewhere in the router config?
