I have had several suggestions, all of which are implemented in this
particular route table:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
199.44.194.10   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0
ppp0
10.1.1.10       0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0
eth0
10.1.1.20       0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0
eth0
10.1.1.20       10.1.1.10       255.255.255.255 UGH   0      0        0
eth0
10.1.1.0        0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0
eth0
0.0.0.0         199.44.194.10   0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0
ppp0


When I do:

route add -host 10.1.1.10 dev eth0
route add -host 10.1.1.20 dev eth0

on both machines, the ping still doesn't work, but I get the PKT light on
the hub to blink in time with the pings. This seems to indicate that the
hardware is "doing the right thing". I still think there is something
missing from route...

Thanks,

Dwarf
