Did you try pinging their IPs or just host names?
Maybe just the name service needs corrections...

I am not sure if you can give your local network same domain name as a
real network if you are going to use an external name server...

Are you running name servers on both of your systems?
Usually, you put names of your ISP's primary and secondary name servers,
unless you run your own.
something like this:
-----start /etc/resolv.conf----------
search hobby.nl
nameserver 212.19.199.34 # primary name server
nameserver 212.19.199.XX # secondary name server
---------end /etc/resolv.conf-------------

You probably want this in your /etc/route.conf:
----------start--------------
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 eth0
212.19.199.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 eth1
default 212.19.199.1 # your default ISP's gateway
# or your masquerading machine (for local network)
---------------end------------
Most of this info you can get from your ISP.
good luck,
