Ow -- don't do that... you can't assign 127.0.0.1, it belongs to your
loopback interface.
Pick a network like
192.168.0
That's a recognized private network address. For example, you could give
one machine
192.168.0.2
and the other machine
192.168.0.10
using the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 - that should work.
Try it and get back to us.
