I have edited the /etc/sysconfig/network file to NETWORKING= yes HOSTNAME=abraham.localdomain.nevada DOMAINNAME=nevada GETWAYDEV= GATEWAY= the hostfile looks like 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.16.1 joseph.localdomain.nevada 192.168.16.2 abraham.localdomain.nevada I have run both tests with route enabled and disabled using route add -net 192.168.16.0 and route del -net 192.168.16.0 similar change on the other machine. I stll get "Network unreachable while trying to ping either machine...... In addition I have disabled pnp on both cards. I am at a lost as to where to proceed next.
