Haa... hadn't thought to try that, but that would eliminate anything weird the gateway might be doing. But no, no such luck. Putting M2 back on original hub1 and unplugging M3 M4. M1 and M2 cannot communicate. So it seems like evidence is telling me that something about hub1 is unacceptable to the NIC on M2. That something isn't present on hub2. The configuration that is working right now. Allowing full communication is: M1 M3 M4 on HUB1 M2 on HUB2 which is uplinked to HUB1 -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
