This is not sufficient in most cases. Usually, you need to set up another
device so that MoL can access LinuxPPC and vice-versa (see Martin's howto
post). I have a different IP address in MoL and LinuxPPC, and, while
networking works in both environments, they cannot ping each other. I am
running MacTCPWatcher in MacOS, so that should respond to pings.
You can easily request another IP address in a DHCP environment by using
Gratuitous ARP ("garp") from http://mind.be/software/garp.
