[olug] Router Network

[Nate]

The 2 computers are connected  to the router in the #1 and #2 ports. 
 The Router is connected to the cable modem through the internet port on 
the router.  I am on the internet with both machines but can't figure 
out how to talk back and forth to the machines.  I want to full access 
to both machines from both machines so I can use the one as a backup 
machine.

Thanks,
Nate
