I have just setup a home network of 2 PCs (see configuration below).

I have tried pinging from David to Goliath and vice versa with no problems.
 
My problem is that I can telnet from Goliath to David with no problems but when I telnet from David to Goliath, I get
a "No route to host" error message.  I have tried to set the default route to 192.168.1.1 (Goliath's IP address) but I still get the same error message. 
 
Please any help would be appreciated.
 
regards
Romeo
