  Route on photon and flux are definitely identical (can't copy in stuff from photon - no network. Lots of monitor swapping instead :-):

[root@flux /root]# route -n

192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0

  ifconfig on photon looks like this (actually ifconfig from flux with all the details manually changed :-):

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:A0:24:52:26:E7  
          inet addr:192.168.0.6  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:42 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 
          Interrupt:10 Base address:0x300 

   And for comparison:

[root@flux /root]# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:39:01:16:13  
          inet addr:192.168.0.1  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:261664 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:345629 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:30 txqueuelen:100 
          Interrupt:9 Base address:0xe800

   and finally (on flux)

[root@flux /root]# tcpdump -i eth0 -s 192.168.0.6

   gives a load of junk and...

22:41:28.507728 B arp who-has flux.localdomain tell photon.localdomain
22:41:28.507775 > arp reply flux.localdomain (8:0:39:1:16:13) is-at 8:0:39:1:16:13 (0:a0:24:52:26:e7)

now, all this time I've been running "ping 192.168.0.1" on photon....464 packets sent, 100% dropped.

Any more ideas, Alex? Anyone?

BTW, I've swapped card and cable. No joy.
