    Ok the mac end is no problem to configure but what about the Linux?

    I've set up a login on both machines which...

    ip: 168.168.168.1 + .2
    subnet: 255.255.255.0
    gateway: default

    Now I can't seem to ping each machine? frown.gif I am using a crossover network cable.

    Just wondering what commands I can use to test the linux end (mac end I know).

    i suppose try to ping eachthe machine itself. see what happens.
    try running ifconfig
    see what reply u get.
    if it just show up localhost, then the net card might not be installed peoperly. Is it dececting it on boot ?

    I'll try the ifconfig (Only knew the windows one, ipconfig).

    Think it's detecting it, but I have no idea.

    you'll need to set up rooting on the linux box. go root and
    /sbin/route add default gw 0.0.0.0 eth0
    then everything not already specified (ie localhost) will go through first ethernet adapter without useing a gateway.
    by default it wont have any routing entries for anything but 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
