I created a private net, I've been trying to connect two Ethereum nodes because I need one of them to mine the transaction made by the other. The two nodes are on different machines and networks. I made sure they have the same genesis file and network id. Below there are the commands from the two machines:
Node 1
geth --rpcport 1338 --rpcaddr "192.168.1.146" --rpccorsdomain "*" --genesis Documents/MyEthereum/MyCustomGenesis.json --datadir Documents/MyEthereum/MyEthereumData --rpc --networkid 1555 --ipcdisable --port 30301 --maxpeers 1 console
Node 2
geth --rpcport 1338 --rpcaddr "127.0.0.1" --rpccorsdomain "*" --genesis Documents/MyEthereum/MyCustomGenesis.json --datadir Documents/MyEthereum/MyEthereumData --rpc --networkid 1555 --bootnodes "enode://a0bc79da8c0d38f59e3d9eaa4de05da568d6334c5b9ba29c531d8a9cf3d740cd606d924707231b0697e803b5e40c25f0e58482bbdb524d0825d5b47a166de47e@192.168.1.146:30301" --ipcdisable --maxpeers 1 --port 30301 console
Even though the two nodes find each other, the connection between them goes down and the following message appears:
Header #748 [39535e19] broke chain ancestry
Setting the verbosity to 10 I can see the following log:

I'm aware it may seem a duplicate question but I can't understand the meaning of these messages. Any help appreciated.
