Question as always, do you have error message when trying to ping or ssh? (Jochen at 20110403101506.gr12...@wasteland.homelinux.net already mentioned to install openssh-server in order to be able to ssh onto machine but I assume the issue is a bit more general here.) How are you configuring your IP of the boxes? Are they getting proper IP? (e.g. running /sbin/ifconfig on machine) Cheers, Frank -- http://frank.uvena.de/en/
