Hi, Unfortunately I've compiled 2.2.4 and the problem persists, after boot if I ping and then type a arp -a ? (192.168.254.2) at on eth1 If I type arp -a at the remote machine I can see 192.168.254.1 08:00:20:91:B2:D3 which is correct The wire thing is that both remote and local host lights at the hub, blink, it looks like the packets are sent but never receive.
