Sorry, typo.  The line should read "GATEWAY="192.168.0.2"." 
  There are only these two machines on the network for the 
moment.

I know, but I just wanted something that worked, now I can 
do the fine-tuning.

What I plan to do now is start back from scratch, do fresh 
new installs on both machines, and get it back to the point 
where I can access the server directory from the client. 
That way I will have worked out the exact sequence needed to 
get from a virgin installation to a pair of networked 
machines which is what I will then post, so that's the rest 
of my evening spoken for!
