Forgive the top post.... I believe you need to define 'talk to each other'. If you can ping each other, then it sounds like you're in good shape. Fire up something like 'sshd' on one of them and see if you can ssh from the other. Again, define 'talk to each other' v/r -Mike On Wed, Jan 29, 2003 at 08:16:08PM -0700, bs wrote: /_ease excuse this newbie's ignorance but I have RTM and I still can't get /_my two Redhat 7.3 boxes to talk to eachother.
