RE: [Sheflug] Network Goes on Holiday

["Paul Sims" <nospam [at] lombard.co.uk>]

192.168.1.x and 192.168.0.x are on different networks - unless you have a 
subnet mask of 255.255.254.0 never the twain will meet. Make sure all 
machines have the same 3 quads (ie. the 192.168.x bit) or the correct 
subnet mask to make them see each other.
