There are all kinds of things wrong with this picture.  Neither side of the 
interface is configured, the UML side isn't registered with the IRQ system, so 
it can't receive interrupts, and 976 usec is a damn good ping response time 
from a UML.

I would say that the host has some device that's configured as 192.168.1.253.  
It may be down, and doesn't show up in 'ifconfig', but down devices respond to 
pings.  Do 'ifconfig -a' and check that.

Also try telnetting or ssh-ing to it.  If you get anywhere, I bet it's the 
host.
