ya 192.168.77.21 is a very awkward address to use. i would use
192.168.0.1-254
[root@dwarf_1 vlad-0.7.4]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 dwarf_1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.100 lamprey
[root@dwarf_1 vlad-0.7.4]#
make all your machines on the same network like lamprey is 192.168.0.100
and the next machine to make this easy would be 192.168.0.110. if you
have a firewall then you gateway would be 192.168.0.1 and your broadcast
would be 192.168.0.255.
do you have a firewall and internal machines ? this message is too vague
to really help you.....
