Actually, Mark, the default route is the default way *off* the local 
subnet, so if both machines are on the same subnet, there is no need for 
a default route. Obviously, wihtout one, accessing the internet is 
impossible, but with Sam's setup, he should be able to ping between 
boxes without a default route.

Your second point is well taken.
