[CUBE] Networking help please?

[nickpaul]

Hi Atoa
Although you probably think this question is too easy for Cube Listers, it
isn't for this relatively new Cube owner who has never had the luxury of
having 2 PowerPC Macs before! So an "On List" conclusion to the exchange
would be very welcome...
And now I'm off to see if any of my guides tell me what "pinging" is
exactly...
