Hi
    I find that using a DHCPD server makes life a whole lot easier, install
this one one machine and get the other to automatically retrieve an IP
address, you can arrange a static if you so wish. If the second machine can
recieve an IP then hey presto!!
For further info on DHCP just send me a mail, I will gladly help!!!
Cheers
Johno
