If neither of these computers are the gateway (router to the internet) then
you do not need them in the routing table. They will be routed on layer two
of the OSI model which means that they will be routed using the MAC address.
This is done by using the ARP table. If one of these computers is the
gateway the two computers can see each other, but you will not be able to
route to the internet.

 

Hope this helps.

I think I figured out what my networking problem is. There is no route
between the two linux macines in th routing table. Does that sound right?
How do I add a route between the two if that is right?
