is the windows machine doing natting?

| NIC is Xircom RealPort2 - I haven't been able to find this on any hardware comp list.

if it comes up under linux, dont worry about it, just keep track of what
driver it uses and remember it when/if you reinstall/recompile kernel.

what are you using to connect the two machines? do you have a hub
between the two? or crossover cable?

| Done my ifconfig stuff, added the default gateway and a route but when pinging I get destination host unreachable.
 
ok, is either machine doing nat for the other? how are you determining
the gateway?

Whatever works for you, dont be fooled into thinking one thing is
outright better than another, they are different and its very much up to
personal tastes...
