routing tables i dont know much about so speak slowly and clearly...
both machines seem to have 2 entries, the loopback and "default" (the router is the gateway for the default, genmask is all 0, and flags are UG). im guessing thats the problem?
Normally you have three..
loopback local network default
and both the loopback and local network routes are set up automatically when the loopback and local network interfaces are brought up.
but if the default route was accepted then most likely everything is fine, and the fact that ping works supports this, but your tcpdumps clearly show that there is something seriously wrong with the traffic A->B.
Maybe the netmask is set wrongly on A or a similar error?

IT'S FIXED!
some more investigation reveled that machine B had the local network route entry but machine A did not. invoking:
route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0
seemed to fix the problem. thanks for all the help.
