Okay I must have missed something here so let me recap what I have tried.

#/etc/hosts 
127.0.0.1		localhost
10.0.0.2	topdog.mute.com topdog
10.0.0.3	saber.mute.com saber
204.178.60.5	gargamel.ptw.com gargamel

#/etc/resolv.conf
domain	ptw.com
nameserver	204.178.60.5

#/etc/sysconfig (on saber)
hostname="saber.mute.com"
#/etc/sysconfig (on topdog)
hostname="topdog.mute.com"

#I entered on saber:
ifconfig lp0 10.0.0.3 10.0.0.2
route add topdog 10.0.0.3
route add 10.0.0.3 127.0.0.1

#I then entered on topdog
ifconfig lp0 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.3
route add saber 10.0.0.2
route add 10.0.0.2 127.0.0.1

#output of netstat -r on saber
Routing tables

Internet:
Destination      Gateway            Flags     Refs     Use     Netif Expire
topdog           saber              UH          1       14       lp0
saber            localhost          UGHS        0        0       lo0
localhost        localhost          UH          1        0       lo0

#output of netstat -r on topdog
Routing tables

Internet:
Destination      Gateway            Flags     Refs     Use     Netif Expire
topdog           localhost          UGHS        0        0       lo0
saber            topdog             UH          0        3       lp0
localhost        localhost          UH          1        0       lo0

After all of this I am unable to ping/telnet/whatever to either machine.  
I am using lp0 for the connections on both machines.  On saber I do have 
two printer ports.  I have configured (not that I remember how) the 
printer to work on saber (on lpt0).  I am sure that I have missed 
something fairly simple but I just can not see it right now.

I really appreciate (jmb@kryten.atinc.com & 
dbaker@concorde.mail.neosoft.com) your help...
