You can use this list for alfred stuff, there is no other list.

This looks good as far as I can tell.

Do you happen to use the 192.168.1.0/24 somewhere else? Do you have some IPs 
configured on eth0 or eth1 by any chance (best to remove them).

I guess, the best way to debug is to check with tcpdump on each interface 
(eth0, eth1, bat0, etc) and on each machine where you see your data is lost.

Cheers,
