<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am having trouble getting my two linux ver 7
boxes to work. I have good nics-3cometheriii's, lights on the hub, eth0 up
at boot on both, ip addresses set up right with correct netmask, but cannot ping
between them. I did a full install custom on both boxes. have host
file set up and eth0 configured. ip addresses are ip 192.168.1.50 hostname
ppp.lan.com and 2nd machine is ip 192.168.1.70 hostname
station.lan.com. Message when pinging, it keeps going like a ping does,
says network unreachable. when i deativate eth0 and ping i get a single
message network unreachable. Any ideas.</FONT></DIV>
