Get a cross over cable. Connect the two machines together. Since you eventually want to connect six machines you might want to skip this step and get a switch and a couple of normal cables. You only need what services you want. So without an idea on what you want these machines to do it's hard to comment. Edit /etc/hosts on each machine to match the assigned IP#'s. To begin with that sounds like all you need. There should be a networking howto on the net some place. Nick
