[X Newbies] New Mac user/Airport Extreme

[Watrat]

Good evening,
         Thanks for the replies and suggestions.  The problem I am finding 
is that both of my machines don't "see" the other one.  When I try and ping 
or telnet the other I get a connection refused message.  Besides my mind at 
this point, what am I missing?

Thanks in advance

Tom
