"swapping boxes" sounds like DHCP is maybe handing out a different
lease than you expect. The DHCP server grants leases based on the MAC
address, which will follow the hardware, typically. Check that your
machines have the ip addresses you think they do.
My Buffalo router, using OpenWRT, shows ENU-1 having IPv4address
192.168.0.155, which is what I expect.
Interestingly, I can access the router from ENU-1, as well as ENU-2. And
I can access the Internet from ENU-1, which is an improvement from earlier.
And ... we're back.
I'm guessing it was the cable. The old one has a broken clip and was
partway out. Once replaced, and once I restarted the machine, things now
work as expected, and I can access each machine from the other via Gigolo.
The first rule of troubleshooting, whether it's a computer or some other
piece of machinery: Is it plugged in? I learned that before I ever had a
computer, but failed to keep it in mind today.
Thanks to all who offered ideas.
