They have consecutive IP's (192.168.1.1 and .2), and they're connected with a crosswired UTP cable. Mask is 255.255.255.0 on both boxes.

I'm probably not looking on the right pages. All i've been able to find are examples of a win <-> win and/or a nix <-> nix setup.

Windows 9* (probably win2k too) have a "workgroup" setting, I was wondering what the equivalent setting would be in Debian. Below are what the boxes are configured to:
** Windows **
IP: 192.168.1.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Computer name (host i presume): "venus"
Workgroup: "workgroup"
Gateway: none
** Debian **
/etc/networks: localnet - 192.168.1.0
IP: 192.168.1.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Hostname: "mercury" (original huh ;))
Any help would be and IS greatly appreciated, I've set up win95 <-> win95 p2p networks before, but this is driving me nuts.
