Ok, I can ping the address from both of my Linux boxen. I thought pinging 
broadcast would catch everything on the network. Am I wrong here?

Now on to the real problem. I am trying to print to a CUPS system. But I get 
nothing from the iBook. On my CUPS box, I added 192.168.1.105 to the host 
address list in CUPS configuration. But no print from the iBook. CUPS does 
work though.
