Hmm... Perhaps a diagram is needed here, Nicole. You have three
machines,
yes? Linux + Mac + Mac. They are all on the same physical network, and
each machine has only one network card each, right? We are talking
ethernet cable only, yes? Is there any mixing ethernet and the older,
slower appletalk cable? Please say no.
No ethertalk/appletalk Zones? (You'd know if you had them)
Good. That keeps it simple. Doing anything else is like way more
serious.
BTW, generally it is considered best to get the ethertalk protocol
happening before trying to get tcp/ip working. Of course if you
were running FreeBSD instead...
Eddie.
