Did you notice that Neuro has the IP for ETH0 but it's not listed in the
routing table? I think that seems a little weird... not sure if it's OK or
not..
Neuro _should_ have:
192.168.0.79 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0
eth0
Linuxbox has:
192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0
eth0
Can you try doing the below on the neuro box?
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.79

Again, I can't telnet to Neuro from Linuxbox until I've telnetted from
Neuro to Linuxbox first. Note that the 203.27.212.5 is a dynamic IP from
my ISP (in case it looked odd).
Thanks for your help!
