First of all John, I don't believe this is a very good way of doing this, because you are actually running two different networks on the same LAN: 192.168.0.0/24 and 250.100.100.238/8.
Anyway, I believe the problem lies in that the DSL GATEWAY has a default gateway that points to PacBell, so when it receives a ping echo from your workstation on network 192.168.0.0/24, it see's that it's not on it's own network, and sends the ping reply to its default gateway, and your workstation never receives the reply. In order for ping to work, the traffic must be able to travel both directions. I don't know what kind of DSL gateway you have, but if you can tell it to route traffic destined for network 192.168.0.0/24 to the router (250.100.100.238), it should work, because the echo reply would then find its way back to the workstation you're pinging from.
