Trouble with RH6.0 ethernet

["Champigny, Michael" <Michael Champigny compaq com>]

I'm trying to get a Multia talking to an AlphaStation. Both have built in
ethernet and right now I just have the two hooked up via a (working)
hub and (working) cat-5 cables.

Both are using modules for tulip on eth0.

It looks my software configuration is OK. I used the netconf tool and
double checked the effected configuration files to be sure they were
doing the right thing.

Problem is I get host unreachable messages from ping.

Also, I get a SIOCADDRT message when running the route command.
And even though I have the /etc/networks file in place, I still get IP
numbers from "netstat -r" and not the aliased network names.

Can anyone shed some light on this setup? It's just a basic two machine
hookup via a hub and I know the hardware is fine. I must be missing
something
very basic.
