Each machine mounting file systems from the other is a perfectly  
reasonable thing to do.

This is what I'd recommend also. Turn both machines off. Then turn one  
on and wait till it's finished starting, then turn the other on. That  
way there's no potential for a race condition and conflicting network  
addresses being chosen. Unless you're an experienced sys admin, and  
even then, problems like this can be very difficult and time consuming  
to track down. If restarting the both machines fixes the problem then  
don't worry about what the problem was and be happy.
