How did you configure your eth0?  Did you use the files in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg*?

Or did you use Redhat's tool?  If your computers have the same
network information (network bits/subnet) then they should be
able to ping.  If nothing else, do /sbin/route -n and see what
the output is.  You should see the path to your local net going
through dev eth0.

Let me know if you need help.  Email me if you want.

Also, what kind of cable are you using? You may already know this, but if
you're going directly from computer to computer, you'll need a crossover cable
. If you're connecting form computer to hub, you'll need a straight through
cable.   (or is it the other way around?)

Is your TCP/IP set up properly? I mean IP, Mask,  Broadcast,..... for
all three computers?

route add -net 192.168.x.0
opens up your network. In /etc/hosts add a line:     ntcomputer
192.168.x.y
Then you can ping your NT-machine by name. If you are going to use the
network
for something you need samba in your linux box.

Good luck
