Doesn't have anything to do with Linksys, as both you and I are using dumb
equipment. Once you get into managed switches at the $900 level, *then* it
matters.

By this I take it you mean assign the machine the same address in all
operating systems. So box1 = 192.168.0.1 and box2 = 192.168.0.2 in every OS.

In theory, yes. :) Until something goes wrong, that's the way it works.

Is there the slightest chance that you may have plugged one of the
computers into the uplink port?

Can each box ping itself at its IP address?

It's the "after rebooting..." comment that makes me think your hub isn't
broken. But yes, it's possible although I would guess otherwise.

1. Borrow another hub and try with that.
2. Check (as above) that neither computer is plugged into the uplink port.
3. Check both cables by using them on known-good computers and networks.
4. Connect both computers to each other via a crossover cable.
See what you come up with... someone else already gave a couple of tips on
how to start looking in RedHat for possible problems. Let's take it step by
step until we find a solution.
