The ethernet cards ARE supported by the kernel images
i'm using in each machine, and no i don't need to load

IP. Here's what my ifconfig -a looks like from one
laptop:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:5A:1B:F3:6B
inet addr:10.0.0.1 Bcast:10.255.255.255
.............
.............
As stated, include full output...
Now according to the network administrators guide, I
should add a route entry; so i do this "route add -host
10.0.0.3" to which i get the error code:
SIOCADDRT: No such device.
Yes, since they are on the same subnet (10.0.0.x) you need no route table.
Otherwise the error "No such device" is because you have stated that there
exist another host on the net (10.0.0.3) but not which gateway to use to
get to this host.
Check the man page for route later. You might need it.
By heart it is something like:
route add -host hostip gw gatewayip
----^
This is what you missed... Specify gateway.
Check that the cable is crossed first.
That's a common problem. :)
