Hi,
	I'm attempting to build my own LAN (and this is the first time I've ever done something like this)
that is connected to the internet. I'm using a 2.2.7 box as gateway, which was configured per the
Pedantic PPP Primer. The other is a 2.2.2 box. 

This is my problem: I am unable to ping either machine from the other.

On the 2.2.7 box this is the message received when attempting to ping,

ping: sendto: Host is down

on the 2.2.2 box I get:

ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: wrote fargo.my.domain 64 chars, ret=-1

here's my netstat -rn info ffrom the 2.2.7 box and ifconfig -a

Internet:

Here is the output of netstat -rn and ifconfig -a from the 2.2.2 box:

I feel like I've missed some detail(s), but don't know what it is. Having tried a couple of
different cards in each machine and getting the same results, I'm inclined to believe I've
overlooked something, rather than having bad cards (although all the network cards are used). The
cable is known to be good.

Thanks
