Ok, I kind of solved the problem.

I have two cards on one machine. Switching the cable from one to the other card was all I had to do. Sorry for bothering you.

What I still don't understand is that I configured both cards on that machine (192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.3). Why didn't ping work? Now (after switching the cable) I can ping both adapters from machine 1. Strange things happen.

I don't have any networking experience, so could you tell us what you are able to do with the two networked machines. Are you able to share an internet connection? I have firewalls on Redhat 9 machines, and would like to network to a Damn Small Linux machine, and surf the web with MozillaFirebird, and have the protection of the Redhat box's firewall. Is this possible?

In the house here weve got a firewall running Smoothwall 2.0 which serves internet to the whole house, including my DSL machine.

I don't have any networking experience either, so I will need some time to find out how things work.
Right now I just managed to connect the machines and use ssh and ftp (by starting the daemons on one machine).

My next step will be mounting shares via nfs.

Then I would like to use dsl to serve internet to the other machine(s), but I don't know if it's possible. I,ve heard something about that the kernel has to be ip-forwarding enabled. but as I said before I will have to do some research before.

And than I will install a firewall. And again I will need to read a lot before.

As soon as I find out how to do all that I will tell you.
