Howdy all, Somehow I managed to muck up my 2 node LAN. I have two machines, loki, which is a potato box, and thor which is woody. Both are running the 2.2.17 kernel. I've RTFM'd all day and can't get these 2 to talk to each other. Here is the set up and some hopefully useful info about this mess I've gotten myself into. I get the following errors:
