Semi-OT: routing

This is only semi-ot because it involves my SparcII, which I can't seem to
find the date on right now, but I'm pretty sure it meets the requirement.

At any rate, please contact me off-list to avoid cluttering it up.

I'm trying to network my SparcII to my p166 running Linux (and ultimately
my VAXstation and Sun 3/60). No matter how hard I try or which
configurations I use, I can't ping from my Sparc [196.168.1.2] to my p166
[192.168.1.1]. I dropped a Win98 box on the network and set it up as
192.168.1.3. I could ping ...2 but not ...3. I could ping ...3 from ...2.
But neither box is talking to ...1. I know it works because the ethernet
card is configured in the kernel, I see it get recognized at boot up, I
can set the IP with ifconfig. I've read all my books about it, the man
pages, the NETWORKING-HOWTO and the Ethernet-HOWTO as well as asking in
#linux on effnet. This is a last resort.

Thanks,
Kevin
