I'm a little puzzled by your email and it seems to me that more info is
needed. Do you have a bunch of computers you want to network and so are
interested in setting up a (static) numbering scheme? Presumably those
computers do not connect to the internet, because if they do there must

Sorry, Lack of experience on my part.
I have 4 computers, including a laptop.
Each is running 8.04.

Hi Nick,
this is what I have done, with no result.
the network is working, as I can access the printers via swiftweasel,
but I cannot get the computers to talk to each other.
I obtained the ip address for the cards using a combination of ifconfig,
under Ubuntu, and ipconfig under xp.
Nor can I
A further question please.
s there is no server involved, why would I need a DNS address, and where
would I get one?

you would need a dns address if you wanted to access any other machine
by name as opposed to ip address. if you are happy accessing via ip
address it is not needed.
do bear in mind some protocols do a dns lookup to see if the
connecting machine is who it says it is (a reverse dns lookup) and if

I recommend that you use a non-routeable subnet that doesn't have weird
meanings for microsoft. For example ( as Nick suggested )
192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254
use a netmask of 255.255.255.0
Sharing computers does require more than just putting them on a common network.

Many Thanks to you Nick, and Steve, for your assistance.
I changed the ip address's in my two main machines, to what you and
Steve suggested, and everything sprang to life.
I will alter the address's on the other machines later today.
for now problem solved.
The issue was my lack of understanding
