Connecting machines
Don't know about that partition error.. but you can connect those two machines using a crossover cable or two regular cables and a little hub.
Just give each one a different IP address in the 192.169.0.x range and the same subnet mask.. usually 255.255.255.0
Thats about it.

I'm sure it's just a typo, but that private block is 192.168.x.x
