Since you are only trying to connect the two computers 198.168.1.1 and
198.168.1.2, you don't need the gateways you have set up.
Your routing tables do not seem correct to me.
1. Remove all routing entries in both machines except for the
127.0.0.0 entries.
2. on 198.168.1.1 type
route add -host 198.168.1.2 dev eth0
3. on 198.168.1.2 type
route add -host 198.168.1.1 dev eth0
That should do it. If not, try a new cross-over cable.
Once you get this working, simply put the two route lines above at the
end of
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
