Oh, you're probably missing the distcc-config command? Use this:
distcc-config --set-hosts "192.168.1.2 192.168.1.3 192.168.1.4"
distcc works with a wrapper. When gcc is called, in
fact /usr/lib/distcc/bin/gcc is called (*), which distributes to the hosts
defined in /etc/distcc/hosts. Which is set by distcc-config.
(*) If ccache is installed (I hope!), another wrapper for gcc which is
called even before distcc is /usr/lib/ccache/bin/gcc. If the input is not
already cached, /usr/lib/distcc/bin/gcc is called.
