Folk, My LAN has a Debian router, joule, and two subordinate machines, curie and heaviside. The three connect to an old Linksys 10Base-T hub. joule connects to a cable modem through a second NIC and runs ipmasq.
Currently I want to add a third NIC to joule, remove the hub and connect each of curie and heaviside to a NIC in joule using a crossover cable. All appears OK except that curie and heaviside fail to communicate with each other. The output of cat /etc/network/interfaces and netstat -r follow. Thanks for any ideas, ...
