Problem adding private connection to a host


I am so frustrated at what should be a simple task: adding a private connection to a host.

My set up:

|--------------------|
| heather,localhost |
| 156.40.59.148------>lan via router, uses dns
| |
| aggr | aggr2
| 192.168.0.3----------->192.168.0.1 via crossover cable
| |
|--------------------|

/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
156.40.59.148 heather localhost loghost mailhost
192.168.0.3 aggr
192.168.0.1 aggr2

/etc/networks

When I try to ping aggr2:

[root@heather network-scripts]# ping aggr2

^C

9 packets transmitted, 0 received, +6 errors, 100% packet loss, time 8566ms
pipe 3


What is wrong? I've tried reading though so many posts on adding a second, private network. I've tried so many things. How can I connect to this second, private network to this data server. I cannot do much on the other end as it is an Oracle "Appliance" other than set the ip address and netmask.

Please answer with a consise and clear answer.

Thanks very much in advance!

Sincerely,
Roger

Unless I'm overlookng something, config on this box seems right. Perhaps check the physical connection and see whether the icmp echo-req's are arriving on the other side (192.168.0.1)? You mention a switch and a cross-over cable, which one is it?

I don't see where I mentioned switch - it is definately via crossover cable. Unfortunately the other sided is a Oracle ZFS 7120 - an appliance - so while I can set various parameters (e.g. ip address) I cannot run diagnostics such as ping.
