The ifcfg-lo is for local self-conection so it is understandable that
box9 can't reach box6.

You will have to create ifcfg-eth1  if you have a wired connection.
Mine looks something like this:
DEVICE="eth1"
HWADDR="00:14:22:2A:3B:FE"
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
ONBOOT="yes"
NM_CONTROLLED="yes"

system-config-network might aid you in this file creation.
