More cluelessness... Ubuntu. Intrepid. I'm trying to connect to remote machines (See the thread "Remote Desktop under Ubuntu"). I'm doing this so I can work in the comfort of my family room, in the relaxing atmosphere of screaming kids who need to be intensively nagged to get their homework done, instead of the high-stress environment of a quiet office with dogs sleeping on my feet and classical music playing in the background.
I can't even ping the other Ubuntu machines on the network?!? We're all one happy family on this side of the firewall, so I assume the problem is one of setting up the right permissions. Here's what happens: I'm at thishere, and I know that thatthere is on and on the network. I do "ping thatthere" and I get told "unknown host thatthere". I do "ping thishere" and I get a happy (and fast!) response.
