What IP addresses have you set for those systems? Have a look in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 for each of the machines. You
should see something like this :
DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=192.168.1.21 and 192.168.1.22 for the other machine
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
ONBOOT=yes
Have you compiled the kernel with modules or are the drivers for those
cards compiled into the kernel?
