iptables? I don't know what Knoppix' default ruleset is, but I suspect
by now (version 4.0 they're up to, right?) it wouldn't be
"wide-frikkin-open". That'd be my first guess, and is frequently the
thing I forget when trying to move packets around linux machines.
In short, make sure the kernel's firewall is accepting connections on
your port of choice.

Machine A (source): tar cf - * | netcat 192.168.x.x 4444 (where x.x is of
course machine A)
This does not work. No data traverses the network. I've tried many
different port numbers. I'm off to bury myself in the man pages again.
The
directory on Machine B, where I want to transfer the data, is writeable and
verified with 'touch test.file'.
I'm looking at this command and obviously missing something that should be
jumping right out at me. Any ideas what it is? I'm off to read the man
pages again.
