Bonded network: "No route to host" between slaves

[Seyyed Mohtadin Hashemi <haadah@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I have a problem that is driving me crazy. I have setup a micro cluster with different programs that can interact with each other, the setup is as follows:

<server>--bond0 (eth1)-->desktop1 (IP:10.1.1.200)

      |

bond0 (eth2)

      v

desktop2 (IP:10.1.1.190)

bond0 consist of eth1 and eth2 connected with following config:

allow-hotplug bond0

iface bond0 inet static

   address 10.1.1.1

   netmask 255.255.255.0

   network 10.1.1.0

   broadcast 10.1.1.255

   slaves eth1 eth2

   bond-mode broadcast

   bond-miimon 100

   bond-downdelay 200

   bond-updelay 200

<server> has no problem connecting to both desktops, and vice versa, both there i can not get a connection between the two desktops (iptables has been disabled). I can't even ping from one desktop to the other, gives error "Destination Host Unreachable" (ping works fine when i ping from desktop to the server).

/etc/hosts is the same on all three, the desktop HDDs are clones of each other.

Hope somebody can help me with this.

Thanks in advance,

Mohtadin
