[ale] Networking Linuxboxes

[james.sumners at gmail.com (James Sumners)]

I don't understand what you are wanting to do. Are you wanting to
share files? Or do you want to share the internet connection through
one of the macines? Or something else?

If it is sharing files, the simplest solution is SAMBA or NFS. I
usually use SAMBA since it essentially does auto-discovery and I don't
have to setup specific connections.
