Yep, another cause. I recommend people check out 'tcpdump' when they have
network problems: tcpdump on the c2->c3 interface would have shown that the
ICMP packets were going one way, not coming back, and the problem would have
been obvious (in hindsight ;)

You don't have kernel sources installed, then. 'make menuconfig' is the
standard tool, and as long as you 'cd /usr/src/linux/', it should be
available. Make sure you don't just have 'headers' installed; you need the
full thing.

Cheers,

Alex.
