most internal nets use Class C stuff.  That's a range along
192.168.XX.XX.  The X can be replaced with anything from 1 to 254 [ ??

Once you've got two machines plugged into each other through a hub [?]
then you need to ping the IP address of one machine with the other.

After that things get complicated.

Can you bring the stuff in on Saturday ?  I'll bring a hub.
