I do have a firewall on both but I turned it off without achieving anything. Something must be badly misconfigured because although I can ping mimosa and arcadia on their respective computers I cannot ping either 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.2 on either machine. My /etc/hosts is as follows, in case this indicates the problem: (The alternative lines are because I tried both the IP which my domain name resolves to and also the ip on my router. I don't know which, if either, I need.) --------cut------------------ 127.0.0.1 localhost loopback # 194.176.77.5 acampbell.org.uk arcadia 192.168.0.20 acampbell.org.uk arcadia 0.0.0.0 accampbell.uklinux.net 10.0.0.1 arcadia 10.0.0.2 mimosas # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts # (added automatically by netbase upgrade) ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts -------cut------------- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] || http://www.acampbell.org.uk using Linux GNU/Debian || for book reviews, electronic Windows-free zone || books and skeptical articles -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
