> 2. rename the hosts adding a domain to the names

Using .nevada as a domain isn't such a good idea.  That won't work for
DNS, for example, and is really nonconventional.   Consider ".nevada.org".

What does the output of "route" tell you?  It should look something
like this:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref Iface
192.168.16.0    *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0   eth0
127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0   lo

(with some information cut for legibility)

Also, /proc/interrupts should show an interrupt being used for your card,
like:

 10:      96970   XT PIC   3c509

Likewise with /proc/ioports:

0300-030f : 3c509

These files may appear zero-length, but "cat /proc/interrupts" will output
data.
