Networking - still could not telnet in

[shyamk <shyamk@eth.net>]

I am trying to establish networking on a LAN consisting of
2 machines on Linux 2 on Windoze.
My second Linux box never used to respond to the network.
So I did :
ifconfig -a
ifconfig eth0 192.147.165.4 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig -a

Now from the one Windows box  (192.147. 165.1)  , 
connected to the same HUB, I tried to telnet 192.147.165.4
I got the message "Could not connect".
Then I gave  ping 192.147.165.4 
which vae out 4 packets sent 4 received 0%packet loss.

Now I  go to 192.147.165.4 and :
ipchains -I input -s 0.0.0.0/23 -p tcp -j ACCEPT
ipchains -L

Still I can not telnet to 192.147.165.4 
from the Windows box  (192.147. 165.1).

Basically what would you do in a similar situation 
as was placed before me?
Any help shall be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Shyam
