As usual I got confused. What is the "this" that has the info. I would
suggest the answer to the question is to buy a hub and plug both
machines into the hub. Give them one of the standard Masquerade
addresses (192.168.1.x) and you should be in business.

Now we have more confusion. You do Yum updates, which implies that one
of the machines communicates with the outside world. How is that
happening? Depending on the answer the answer I gave to the first
question may be garbage.
