Have you tried pinging the other machine by IP eg: ping 192.168.0.2 ? if it works by number and not by name it's probably your /etc/hosts file needs the name of the other machine mapped to it's IP eg: 192.168.0.1 dj dj.donselaar # The host name of the gateway? 192.168.0.2 other other.donselaar # The host name of the other pc etc...
