You should see a route in your route table that looks something like
this:
Destination Gateway Genmask
[...]
156.83.168.0 * 255.255.255.0
This route is usually created when you run ifconfig. If you did the
stock RH5.1 install, it should have done that there. You can see your
route table entries by running:
netstat -r
If you do see that route, then try to ping the other host. This will
help eliminate some other causes of the No route to host message.
