Hey! Did you hear what Omachonu Ogali was saying on Apr 18 ?

This probably isn't needed...I don't do it here (because ppp0
likes to have the default route while I'm on the net) and I don't have any
problems. See further down for what I think the problem is... :)

Andrew, you haven't told Linux what broadcast address the
interface is using. Just add this line to each computer's network config
file (the rc.inet1 - where you've got the above ifconfig stuff)...
ifconfig eth0 -broadcast 192.168.1.255
Also you don't need to add the "up" to your first ifconfig line
because it is implicitly specified if an address is assigned to the
interface.
One other point... The above assumes you are running a 2.0.x
kernel. If you are using a 2.2.x kernel the only line you need is...
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 (or 2 for the other machine)
You don't need the broadcast line or the route line. But this is only if
you are running a 2.2.x kernel.
Hope this sorts things out for you...
