Networking Question

[Ben Beeson]

Aloha all,
	I am still trying to get my two computers to talk to each other at home. 
 Here is a brief rundown on what I have to work with and what I want to 
do.  I have one VALinux StartX MP and a Sparc20.   Both machines are 
running RedHat Linux 6.2, one version for Intel, one for Sparc.  I am 
using a rolled ethernet cable to connect the two boxes. My VALinux box 
will use the IP address 192.168.1.10 and is named "VALinux."  The Sparc20 
is 192.168.1.20 and is called "sparky."  So far the name and IP addresses 
lookup OK, but I cannot ping, ssh, or telnet across the LAN yet.  Any 
ideas what I should try next, or where I should look to fix this??
Thanks in advance,
Ben
