I originally thought that using dhcp would be simpler. Anyway, I went
ahead and entered 192.168.0.2 as my roommate's IP address and rebooted his
computer. But I still can't even ping my linux box (ping 198.168.0.1)
from my roommate's windows box (the ping times out).
So I'm guessing that I don't have my interface setup correctly.
Here's what ifconfig reports for my NIC that goes into the switch:
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:CC:5B:DD:F8
inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

...and the output of route:

Thanks again,
