[Gllug] `arp` problem ?

[t.clarke]

I don't think DNS is involved in the problem as I was doing pings using IP
addresses.

I will try pinging from another machine to see if that 'livens up' the
connection between the two affected machines.    I am also going to try
using a different connector socket on the switch in case this is in some way the
cause of the problem.

The nic on the new machine is a Netgear FA11.  I note that this is detected
by tye kernel as a realtek chip,   whereas the previous 'iodentical' Netgear
cards used a different chip.   It seems netgear swap around the chips on their
(presumably depending on which chip manufacturer is offering them the best
deal at the time !).
