Connecting 2 linuxmachines

[rasputin]

Hi
I have set static IP-adresses on 2 linux machines, and the netmask. They are
on the same network. I am using a crossover cabel.

What else do I need to do to connect these 2 machines ?

I am no expert on networking but it sounds like you need a switch between the machines.

That should be it, you may need to add a default route to the kernel routing table.
Post the output of

sudo route

Hi
Here is the output:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.10.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
default 192.168.10.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1

It is eth1 I am trying to use.
