Subject: Can not ping myself

I have two machines box1 and box2 connected via a parallel cable. I can
ping from one machine to the other:

box1# ping box2   or box2# ping box1

But I can not ping myself:

box1# ping box1   or box2# ping box2

It says "no route".  These two machines do not connect to the outside
network. They run Freebsd 4.0-release. The /etc/hosts contains the
following:

192.168.1.0 box1 box1.home.org
192.168.1.1 box2 box2.home.org

Any help is appreciated.
