Can you go to one machine and ping the other? You do have static ip
addresses? Not sure if DHCP will handle this. But, once both machines
see each other on the local net, you should be able to copy back and
forth using scp. (man scp) If they don't recognize each other and answer
a ping, nothing will happen, so best start at ground-zero. :) Ric
