Simple Networking

["Scott Cleveland" <scottacleveland@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

	I have been trying to tackel simple linux networking.  I have been trying 
to network 2 linux workstations together to swap files and to share an 
internet conection.

	I have assigend sepret IP numbers to each machine.  I have confermed that 
the Network cards are working by issueing the command /sbin/ifconfig   The 
card responds with the IP address, Bcast, mask (you get the idea.

	Basicly I have the machins ready to work on a network, I just cant make 
them work together.

	Can any one give me a real simple directions on how to make this happen?  I 
have been using netcfg to set up the computers.  Both computers are running 
RH 7.0

	I think I can make IP masquerading happen, I just need to get thease 
machines talking to echother.

One final note.  When the computers boot, they hage up on sendmail for a 
while and the hub lights blink.  I do not know why or what they are doing.

Thank you in advance for any help
