(I'm a bit out of my depth here but isn't the fact that two hosts have the same IP address a problem?)
Erm, maybe a silly question, but have you configured the network cards on each machine?
I did but I don't think I understood the options. Based on Ken's recommendations, I have changed the IP address of both machines (toshiba = 192.168.100.10 and linux = 192.168.100.20). Assuming this solves one of my problems, what next?
