Are you using a switch or hub?  If so, go to the Networking screen for
your distro(s), and
see that you have the machines on the same subnet, but with different
IPs, and set up the
routes - define each machine on the other, for ease.

Beyond that, Google for UNIX networking  -Linux netowrkin *is* UNIX networking
