Those were the lines from the output with the information I cared about. It has 192.168.1.102 address and the route looks normal going to the local subnet. But that was only one of the two. How about the other machine? The above is only half of the information.Both of these are debian testing Computer 1 192.168.1.102 Computer 2 192.168.1.101 Withe Debian squeeze computer I can fp to 192.168.1.101 or 192.168.1.102 with no problemYou have a 3rd computer available running Squeeze. Okay. That wasn't clear in your earlier email. Also a possibility is that you have a firewall blocking the connection. Camaleón asked if you can ping the machine. Did you have an answer to that question? Bob
