[linux-help] Can't set up network

[Bruce Bales <bbales@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

    I'm trying to set up a network with a windows box and two linux boxes.
Have the three boxes and a cable modem hooked to a hub.  Linux box #1 has two
ethernet cards (one isa and one pci, but the PCI cable is not hooked up yet).
I can access the internet with Netscape from all three boxes and can ping the
cable modem from each.  But I can't ping any box from another.

When I boot, the isa board (eth0) in box #1 and box #2 set up ifconfig with
"inet addr 24.92.X.X" or something close (the two linux box addresses are not
the same).  Road runner is 24.94.195.32. If I ping either box to its own
24.92.X.X number, it takes about .5ms to return - about the same as
127.0.0.1. If I ping the other box's 24.92.X.X number it takes 26 ms. If I
ping road runer at 24.94.195.32 it takes 16 ms. I can assume the ping is
going to RRunner and back.  But why can't I make 192.168.1.12 ping????

A probably unrelated problem: Eth1 on box #1 fails on boot with "getting
information from /sbin/Dhcpcd ....Dhcpcd is already running...FAILED."
It sets up when I do  "ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.11"
