what are you trying to ping? host or host.mydomain.com. Are your host machine looking at your DNS servers for DNS lookups? Can you lookup outside names? Is named running on your server? I think Red Hat by default has some sort of firewall running, but I am not sure. Also, I do not see reverse lookups. but first try to ping dogbert or catbert, and then host.mydomain.com. Also, try to use the dig command to see what DNS server is giving you the lookups.

Both of these boxes are on the same subnet - a full class c.
machine A is 192.168.172.100/24 and Machine B is 192.168.172.101/24
Neither are running iptables.
Unless there is another firewall app that runs by default at install on RH8 I should not have any fire walling between them.
